Vocational Certificates

You can earn a vocational specialist certificate within 30–50 credit hours. You’ll learn new skills that may lead to better pay and advancement opportunities. Many certificates are "stackable," meaning they build toward an Associate of Applied Science. Completing more classes earns additional certificates.

These programs are designed to prepare you for the workforce with hands-on training and practical experience in your chosen field. Whether entering a new industry or looking to grow in your current role, vocational certificates offer a fast, focused path to employment. Programs are often developed with input from local employers to ensure the curriculum meets industry standards and job market demands. Courses are available in flexible formats, including online, evening, and hybrid options, making it easier to balance school with work and family responsibilities. Financial aid, scholarships, and career services may also be available to support your journey. Start with a single certificate or plan your path toward a full degree—your future begins here.
