What are certificate programs?

Certificates typically require fewer hours than a master's degree and focus on key skill areas. Some are designed for graduate level work, while others are open to undergraduate students. Certificate programs typically can be completed in as little as 12-18 months.

Are all certificate programs eligible for the Guaranteed Interview Program?

Employers choose which of our certificate programs to offer guaranteed interviews for. If you have questions about whether a program offers guaranteed interviews, email Kai Degner at [email protected]
