But, if he wants to get the degree on the way to the BSBA, that might be something to keep him motivated (kind of like getting the AA along the way).  So it can't hurt.  Also, if he wants an AA and a certificate at the same time, he'd only have to pay one graduation fee - but he'd still have to pay the residency waiver, and then we're still not sure if it will also apply to the BSBA in the works.  So be careful with that.

I disagree. I think that a certificate-especially if it a long term one-in a specific in demand subject area, can add value to a resume, and help one be more marketable. There are still many jobs-in fact a majority of those being created that do not need a bachelor's degree. Also, many employers look at experience, and a specific skillet to determine your employ ability. Many of them do not care how it was gained. A certificate is still a significant post-secondary credential that lead to better employment. An example is medical assisting-an employer may hire both the person with the degree, and the person with the certificate.

I've worked in HR, and I've never seen a person ask for a certificate in Finance.  Never.  They may want a bachelor's in business, or a bachelor's in finance, or a bachelor's in accounting.  But an undergrad Certificate in Finance is NEVER going to be required, and never going to get any kind of look.  Sorry.  SOME certificates may mean some things in some circles, but this one is not one of those.
