What is a CAGS degree?

CAGS stands for Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies. It's a postgraduate degree awarded by some universities after the completion of additional coursework beyond a master's degree. It's not a full doctoral degree (like a PhD or EdD), but rather a post-master's credential that signifies advanced study in a specific area. Think of it as a way to specialize further or gain additional expertise after already earning a master's degree. The specific requirements and value vary considerably between universities and programs.
