These are not graduate level certificates, in fact they are more like continuing education ones as you do not get any college credit for them. I explained this in another forum on this board a couple of weeks ago.

Oh wow. Good looking out. I wasn't sure where to post about these but the website does say undergraduate certificates. I hope they change them to count for credit.It's a step in the right direction.

Hi, the goal in the future is to offer credit bearing certificates but these have a different course prefix than the same credits in the associate and bachelors degrees. Right now the target audience for these is for students who want to earn a credential without spending time in college or for students who want to try a different subject if they already have a degree or for students who want to see if they can handle college level work.

In the future yes, but their priority is the launch of the upcoming Masters in a Computer related subject, which will be launching in a couple of months.
