Which Degrees and Certificates are Right for Me?

Workforce Training

Workforce training teaches you job skills fast. It can prepare you for a new job or help you grow at your current job. You will not earn "traditional" credits toward a degree, so your courses may not transfer to other colleges or universities. But you may earn Continuing Education Units or CEUs (which will appear on a transcript).

“The best part about this program was learning from instructors with real hands-on industry experience. On the job, I apply almost everything I learned in the program. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that broad spectrum of knowledge. That I could get out of college without a mountain of debt and go to school close to home really made a difference too.” Read Brian Singleton's story.
