Graduate certificates

[pmc2009]

I have been researching certificate programs extensively over the last few days. I am in the same situation as you, with a BSLS degree from Excelsior, and I feel I would benefit from having a certificate in something to show I have a good concentration of knowledge in one particular area. I don't regret my BSLS at all, I love having a liberal arts degree! But I wanted to be able to drill down more into one subject. I have been looking into certificate programs in marketing and public relations. I am also working on an MBA, but still want that certificate to add to my resume.

Here is all the info I have come up with so far -

Less expensive NA certificates -

Penn Foster has several certificates that are well priced and self paced, the HR one especially is a good deal at $598 for 7 courses.

Ashworth College is more expensive than Penn Foster but still well priced and self-paced, they have both undergrad and grad certs -

RA certificates -

These are more expensive but well worth it considering the reputation of the schools they are from.

University of California some of the extension schools have online certs - $500-$800 per course - certificates are usually 6-7 courses, so they whole cert could cost you close to $5000

Berkeley -

Some of the other schools besides the 3 I called out above have online courses also, but the 3 above have the most choices

City University of New York - Baruch College -
Tons of courses but not all are online. I have not found a way to show a listing of the online only courses so you have to actually click on each course to see if it is offered online. Certificates cost between $3,000 and $4,000 and individual courses between $500 and $600
