In this case, we use the word certificate in two different but compatible meanings. One is as a significant step on the path to a master's degree, and the other is as independent recognition of progress in study of seed science and technology issued by the ISU Graduate College. The certificate may be either the final objective of the student or an intermediate stop on his/her way to a master's degree. View more details on Iowa State University .
