Undergraduate Certificate programs? - SirTeacherGuy - 06-29-2014

Does anyone have any experience with testing out of an undergraduate certificate program at one of the Big Three schools? I'm interested in the undergraduate certificate program whose information page I have included a link to below.

Undergraduate Certificate in Marketing

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

These aren't popular with the members of the forum. You can find CBE and ACE/NCCRS credit options from test out plans for corresponding bachelors degrees. I made a test out plan for the BSBA in Marketing.

I would hate to pay the TESC enrollment fee to only complete a certificate.

Yeah, I think the undergraduate certificates are a good add-on if you're completing another degree. TESC only allows two areas of study (double majoring). They allow an unlimited number of undergraduate certificates. In theory, one can earn a BSBA in accounting and human resources; and, then, tack on an undergraduate certificate in computer information systems.

I'm still waiting for verification of this, but it might be possible to use the Per Credit Tuition Plan to earn undergraduate certificates.
