Purpose: The career studies certificate program is a response to the non-conventional short-term program of studies needed by many adults within the college’s region. It offers a series of specialized program options which represent a wide variety of adult career and academic interest course areas.

Each of the program options is designed as a distinct “mini-curriculum” within a broader range of adult educational possibilities.
