Why a Certificate?
Pursuing a graduate certificate can help you “test the waters” to see if you want to continue on to receive a Master’s degree. A certificate can further your understanding and knowledge while helping you to become more effective in your current and future jobs to become a change agent or to fill a job requirement for continuing education.
Certificates:
- Can be completed in a shorter period of time than a normal degree program.
- Serve as an outreach tool and re-entry point to bring people back to the university who have been away from higher education for some period of time.
- Are valuable to community leaders who want to enhance their leadership skills.
