Six courses.
A capstone paper.
A credential that means something.
The Tokat Certificate is awarded to students who complete six qualifying courses and a 5,000-word faculty-reviewed paper within the academic year — one of the few programmes of its kind offered outside a university.
The requirements.
Complete six courses within your chosen track — attended live or via recordings — across the academic year.
A 5,000-word paper on a question of your choosing, reviewed and assessed by a member of the faculty.
All requirements completed within a single academic year, beginning the term you register for the certificate.
A Tokat Certificate is not a certificate of attendance. It records that a student has read widely across a tradition, sat with its leading scholars, and produced original written work judged worthy by the faculty.
It is designed for those who want their study to amount to something — applicants to graduate programmes, teachers, writers, and serious independent readers who have earned the right to say they have done the work.
Scholarships apply to every component — registration, course fees, and capstone assessment alike.
Start with the first course.
You do not need to commit to the whole certificate today. Enrol in one course this term — it counts toward your track from the start.
