Students must complete at least 22 credit hours in the program. Requirements include the introductory course, the career course, the Issue Forum, a mentored internship experience, four electives, and the capstone seminar. See the PACE website at http://pace.indiana.edu. 

A minimum grade of C– is required for courses to count in the certificate. A minimum of 9 credit hours must be taken in residence on the Bloomington campus.

1. PACE-C 250 Leadership and Public Policy (3 cr.) Recommended first course, required for application to add the certificate.
2. PACE-C 295 Citizenship and Careers (2 cr.) Departmental consent after meeting with the PACE advisor, (812) 856-1747.
3. PACE-C 200 Issue Forum OR PACE-C 440 Leading a Forum Discussion (1 cr., may be repeated.) Both are offered in the spring semester.
