Professional Development certificate

The Professional Development Certificate Program is a four-year program for degree-seeking students in most majors. It integrates academics, experiential learning, leadership, service, diversity and multiculturalism, career preparation, and professional readiness. The program is designed to enhance the bachelor’s degree and to offer an advantage in the job search process. It provides a realistic understanding of the operations and expectations of the work world, increases marketable skills, establishes professional networks, and instills leadership and social responsibility. A student interested in participating in the program should make an appointment in the career development office during the first semester of the student’s freshman year to discuss the certification program. Completion of program requirements will be officially noted on the student’s transcript at graduation.
