I don't think employers understand the difference between an undergrad certificate and a regular non-credit certificate. I don't think they understand the difference between a grad certificate and a non-credit certificate for that matter. You would have to REALLY make a point of it being for college credit, and I'm not sure that it would still stand out. I have a lot of non-credit certificates in various things that have cost money as well as freebies, and they are lumped into 1 section on my resume. I have a "degrees" section, and wouldn't put an undergrad/grad cert there - so for my resume, I'm just not ready to plunk down the cash. I don't think it would make a difference. I could be totally wrong, and if I didn't have a degree, that would probably change my answer. But I'm still in the category of "no" for this one.
