Professional Certificate Programs
Certificate programs offered through the Office of Lifelong Learning will help you stay in step with emerging roles in education and health care. Each study area includes learning outcomes; self-paced, interactive, and teacher-facilitated learning activities; “mini-lectures”; and an end-of-course evaluation. Programs may be intensive, short-term experiences, or longer courses of study completed over a three- to six-month period. The didactic portion of all programs is offered online only; some programs also include a clinical component that can be completed close to your home.
