The certs are probably most useful for people with business degrees who want to specialize. I don't really like the sound of Foundations of Accounting because it makes it sound like there are no advanced accounting courses in the curriculum. It'd be cheaper to get the undergraduate certificate in accounting from TESU.
I forgot who it was. Maybe it was Soliloquy, but this person had a good explanation for the difference between academic certificates and professional certifications. Someone with a certification is certified and someone with a certificate of completion is certificated. I noticed that a lot of people think that an academic certificate is the same as earning a certification. A cybersecurity certificate is not as valuable as the CISSP. A project management certificate is not as valuable as a certification from PMI. Academic certificates are just sub-degree-level awards that show that you completed some courses in a subject area.
Do they accept transfer credits for their certificates? I wouldn't want to pay over $1,000 for a course just to earn a certificate.
