Undergrad Certificates - is there a benefit?

[bjcheung77]

Yes and No, maybe so, do you have tuition reimbursement? It depends on the school, the degree you're going for, and the certificate as well. For example, in your case, at COSC, I usually says no to their certificates as it would be expensive (unless the cert is included in the degree plan).

Now, having said that, if you're going for a BSBA General Management degree at COSC and wanted to have a certificate to show you're getting ready/preparing for the PMI, the PM certificate would be worth it. Most people transfer in the max courses towards the Big 3, COSC is no exception.

Each and almost any course that is part of the certificates offered at COSC are rarely transferable from an alternative source for cheap. Are you going to be paying out of pocket for those two courses? If you have tuition reimbursement, I would say it's worth it... if not, that certificate isn't really necessary to prepare you for the PMI cert.
