Professional Development Credits

A Great Way To Enhance Your Career!
(Six Programs Designed To Update Your Skills)

These professional development credit programs have been designed to help you update your current skills. Each program includes two or more courses, each one packaged differently to give you choices. Students will be awarded certificates upon completion of any program. Remember, once you have completed one of the programs, you may apply the credits toward a 30-credit hour certificate or degree. Completion of these Professional Development Credits will result in a certificate and posting to your official student transcript.  Students must apply for an audit in the Records Office.

Courses must be taken in this sequence unless otherwise noted, and all prerequisite courses must be completed.  Students will have 18 months to complete courses to receive the award. Because this is considered professional development, all courses in the sequence must be completed.  There is no testing out or waiving for these credits.  Check the current Course Schedule for prerequisites.
