Webster University Adds 10 New Graduate Certificate Programs
They are designed for college-educated adults seeking additional job skills
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Webster University is launching 10 new certificate programs for adults with college degrees who seek additional training to advance in their careers. The new programs reflect recent changes in society, from technological advancements to shifting demographics in many communities. The certificates are designed to be stand-alone or a stepping-stone to an advanced degree.
They are being added to the 17 graduate certificate programs Webster University already offers in the fields of business, communications, digital media, healthcare, education, cultural studies and fine art to those who have a bachelor's degree. Some of the programs will be added this spring while others will be added later in the year. Most will be online courses.
"Webster understands the life-long learner," said Vice Provost Nancy Hellerud, who oversees academic affairs at Webster University. "Certificate students are those who are curious about 'what's next' in their field, desire to refresh and upgrade their skills, want to take on a new challenge or role in their career, and are interested in connecting with others who are seeking the same things. Certificate programs are a way to accomplish these goals in a short time and to earn a credential to prove it."
