Need some help please with TESU undergrad certificate choices - lady elektra - 03-26-2018
The TESU undergrad certificate is an 17-18 credits which rewards certificate alongside a bachelors degree. I am thinking about completing a certificate at TESU and wondering which ones are better for marketability and sticking out for resume. Which ones did any TESU alumni completed.
- Accounting
- Communications
- Computer Information Systems
- Computer Science
- Electronics
- Finance
- Fitness and Wellness Services
- Gas Distribution**
- General Management
- Human Resources Management
- Marketing
- Operations Management
- Organizational Leadership
- Polysomnography
- Psychology

Not sure that anyone could answer that for you. I would need more info on your background and interests to even make a suggestion.
For my situation CS, Electronics, Operations Management, Organizational Leadership, and Psychology could all be interesting or helpful.

I have completed the operations management, finance and organizational leadership certificates. I am two TECEP's away from the marketing certificate. I'll be done by June. Each of these can be completed via test-out options.

They can't all be completed via test out, so you'll want to check on that. It also completely depends on what degree you're getting. You don't want something duplicative (I am getting my degree in HR, so a cert in HR wouldn't be useful). I think Comm is always useful no matter what field you're in. If you get a BALS, but want to work in Business, then any of the business ones are good.

Computer Science would be expensive (and possibly hard), but would be impressive if you wanted work in that field. CIS would be easier and cheaper, but still requires programming.
I'm not sure, but I guess electronics might require non-self paced courses too.
I couldn't find a way to test out of Psychology.
Accounting seems valuable if your field would need you to do any accounting.

It's just 6 courses, and most can be done through Study.com.

Which ones can be tested out? Any even close?

Note: For non-degree enrolled students, at least 50% of the credits required for an undergraduate or a graduate certificate must be earned at Thomas Edison State University.
