Accelerate Career Growth with Professional Development

Certificates are a great way to fortify your resume. Earning a certificate shows your desire to continue learning and provides you with career-relevant skills that can be used on a daily basis, keeping you up-to-date on the latest technology and trends. UMass Global offers both credit and non-credit certificates:

  • A professional development (non-credit) certificate program offers a way to advance your education and complete a program in a relatively short period of time.
  • An undergrad or graduate certificate offers academic credit but can be completed in as little as a term or two. In some cases these help to qualify you for a particular career or help to enhance your knowledge and skills beyond your degree.
  • Most professional development certificates, unless they are part of a series, do not have prerequisites but may require a certain skill level.
  • Certificates and certification prep courses do not qualify for financial aid. They are an affordable way to increase your skills and possibly your salary.
