Online Graduate Certificate Programs

Graduate certificate programs consist of courses that help you develop career competency in a specialty area.

A certificate typically consists of four to eight courses which can be completed in a few semesters.

Unsure about pursuing a Master’s degree? You may choose to pursue a graduate certificate instead because they are more affordable and time to completion is faster. Often credits earned in a graduate certificate program can be transferred to a Master’s degree later if you so choose. Always check with the institution prior to starting a certificate program to verify that the courses will apply toward a graduate degree.

Consider a Graduate Certificate to.....

  • Launch a new career
  • Qualify for promotional opportunities and possible salary increases
  • Re-tool your existing degree with more specialized credentials (i.e., adding a Digital Marketing certificate to your undergraduate Marketing degree)
  • Meet state or national licensing requirements
