Certificates of Completion*
& Short-term Training Awards
You don’t need to complete a two-year degree to prepare for some of the jobs that may be of interest to you. Many programs offer Certificates of Completion that you can usually finish in one year. Many of the courses in these certificates will apply to an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in the same field. These certificates can help you get started on a career path or advance in your chosen field while continuing your education toward higher degrees.
Another alternative is getting training for a specific workplace skill and receiving a short-term training award. The amount of time required for short-term training ranges from a few hours to one or two terms. Contact the departments or individuals below for more details or check the page listed below.
