CERTIFICATES OF SPECIALIZATION
These certificates of Specialization offer specific training
either for entry-level positions or to augment related programs
such as Telecommunication Technician or Web Development. They
are designed to demonstrate a relatively narrow expertise or
skill area that may be used to attain a “niche” job or expand
your professional skill set.
Students who wish to enroll in specific Microsoft applications
(e.g. Word, PowerPoint) should refer to Business Office Technology.
