Certificate programs in career and technical and health sciences programs are designed to give students specific skills in a particular curriculum and require less time to complete than degree programs. If students later desire to pursue a degree, all courses within the certificate in a program in which a degree is offered will apply toward the degree. The Certificate program in general education is designed to assist students in developing an academic foundation to earn credit toward the associate of arts or associate of science degree.
