Course Overview

Want to gain a new skill specific to your occupation? Certificate programs are short-term programs that can quickly teach you specialized skills that you may need for work or to enhance your resume. Certificate programs aren’t necessarily degrees and don’t have the high cost of earning a long-term degree. 

There are many benefits in pursuing a Certificate Program over a degree, although you won’t gain the same recognition or range of skills that a two or four-year degree can provide. However, certificate programs serve the purpose of giving you skills specific to your job. These skills may be more specialized than your traditional education and provide a much more in-depth look into a particular topic.
