On-Campus Degrees: Certificate

A certificate is a formal award recognizing the completion of a course of study. Individual skills are targeted, and certificates are often appreciated by hiring managers looking for a particular level of knowledge or certification. Certificate programs typically take less than a year to complete and are offered by traditional community and vocational colleges as well as via distance learning providers. Some certificate programs are specifically designed to help with licensing or professional certification. Because certificate programs vary widely across industries, the monetary reward of gaining a certificate is very different from field to field, and students should be sure to research this before committing to a particular program of study.
