Our four-course stand-alone certificates offer concentrated pathways for students looking to enhance a specific skill set or fulfill a knowledge gap. Earning a certificate demonstrates to employers that you are knowledgeable in a focused-learning area, as well as your determination and discipline to succeed academically. You are awarded a certificate upon completion.
Our master’s degree programs are a more comprehensive, long-term academic commitment, requiring 10 to 14 courses to complete. Certificates can be earned within the master’s degree programs by appropriately selecting your elective courses. You must meet specific admissions requirements and complete a degree program application to pursue a degree.
If you plan to pursue multiple certificates, keep in mind that each course can only count toward one certificate. Each certificate is carefully designed to include a distinct set of courses to ensure its academic and professional value.
