Graduate Certificates for career change
#1
What are some of the best graduate certificates available for a career change? It doesn't matter what field, if possible it would be nice to keep costs on the lower end. National vs Regional accreditation is not a concern. Just trying to expand my horizons. Thanks.

not really inexpensive -- but all can transfer into their masters program if you ever want

From what I've gathered previously, most NA & RA graduate certificates are more expensive than a grad degree at Hodges, Patten or WGU.
Further to that, it's a certificate that's "half" a course load as a masters, why not spend the time to finish up a Masters instead of being "halfway".

Just checked out your signature, I don't see any certs, you may have a few, but I see you've got a degree after degree, go for the Masters!
Patten has 7 different concentrations for their MBA, including Health Care. WGU has a few as well, also has one for Health Care Management.

Patten: Online College Degree Programs - Patten University
WGU: https://www.wgu.edu/business/online_business_degree#
In Progress: Walden MBA | TESU BA Biology & Computer Science
Graduate Certificate: Global Management & Entrepreneurship, ASU (Freebie)

Completed: TESU ASNSM Biology, BSBA (ACBSP Accredited 2017)
Universidad Isabel I: ENEB MBA, Big Data & BI, Digital Marketing & E-Commerce
Certs: 6Sigma/Lean/Scrum, ITIL | Cisco/CompTIA/MTA | Coursera/Edx/Udacity

Weeeeeeelllllll, it sort of does matter what field. Smile If you're thinking of changing careers, what directions interest you? Staying in healthcare? Management? Research? Something completely new? A graduate "certificate" in a new, random direction may seem awkward on your resume unless you can explain exactly how it's going to help you. Are you thinking something skill-based (coding, writing, accounting), or more academic (history, literature, math)? What do you want to be when you grow up? (There's no wrong answer, but you *should* at least *have* an answer. You can always change it later.)
