Certificate Programs -- Undergraduate Certificates

When offered online, undergraduate certification programs can be completed at your convenience, while you stay employed, in a fraction of the time and cost of a degree program. They're also a great way to boost your current career, and hopefully, your salary. Undergraduate certification is geared toward achievement of very particular skills, so you're ready for the workforce in a shorter period of time. You can usually enroll in an undergraduate certification program with only a high school diploma, but many people with degrees use certificates to enhance existing skills.

For example, undergraduate certificates in accounting open up a wider range of employment possibilities for those with non-business degrees by adding financial skills to a resume. If you're trying to secure a management position, such financial skills will give you an edge. Without a degree, you may qualify for an entry-level accounting clerk position based on your undergraduate certificate alone.

In the accounting example above, those already in accounting positions might take a certification program to help prepare for the CPA exam. Certified Public Accountants are in great demand due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, requiring strict financial reporting of public companies. Full-fledged accountants earned more than $50,000 in 2004.

There are dozens of online certificates available -- all of which can be incredibly versatile and useful paths to career advancement.

What he needs is education to turn him around."
