Certificates

Harper College currently offers 27 certificates entirely through distance education. A certificate program is made up of a sequence of courses in a specialized academic and/or technical area. Certificates can require as few as two courses or as many as ten courses for completion. A grade point average of 2.0 (C grade) or higher entitles the student to a certificate of achievement in that field of specialization. While some certificate coursework prepares the student to take a licensure exam, all courses are applicable toward an associate degree.
