Does my situation count as "two or more degrees, certificates"

[zhu9]

I have completed my 4 year bachelor of fine arts degree in University of Alberta, and a certificate in video game development that I completed during my study at the university. I received both the degree and certificate upon graduation. I wonder if the certificate would count as "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be a program of three or more years" since I completed the certificate along with my degree.

Quote my advisor at the university: "Yes, it is an official certificate offered by the University... ...The certificate itself would not have years associated with it as you complete the courses as part of your degree. "

Try getting it evaluated from WES. If they say yes, then it will be possible.

If you had completed the certificate separately as full time studies, how long would it have taken? How many months or years?

The certificate requires 18 course credits at least, with 2 courses must be taken in different semesters. So probably 2 semesters, one full time, one part time.

Hmmm... I'm not sure in that case. If it was at least a 2 semester / 8 month program full time, then I would say definitely yes. In this case I'm not sure. I guess you can try and see what happens.
