University of the People Launches Certificate Programs

[sacredrain]

Oh wow. Good looking out. I wasn't sure where to post about these but the website does say undergraduate certificates. I hope they change them to count for credit.It's a step in the right direction.

Hi, the goal in the future is to offer credit bearing certificates but these have a different course prefix than the same credits in the associate and bachelors degrees. Right now the target audience for these is for students who want to earn a credential without spending time in college or for students who want to try a different subject if they already have a degree or for students who want to see if they can handle college level work.

Do you happen to know if they plan to do an certificates from the computer science curriculum?

In the future yes, but their priority is the launch of the upcoming Masters in a Computer related subject, which will be launching in a couple of months.
