It was a bad idea for them to mix academic certificates with professional certificates. Sometimes, you only need the credits. Sometimes, you only need a short academic credential for respecialization on top of a degree you already have.
Let's say you have an MBA in marketing, and you want to work in finance. You may not need another master's degree in finance; a graduate certificate could suffice. Or, let's say you have a BS in liberal studies, and a government job you want requires a bachelor's degree in business or 24 credits in business-related subjects. You can either do an undergraduate certificate in business or a graduate certificate that will qualify you for a higher pay grade.
It's harder to judge the value of non-credit certificates. As a government employee, a graduate certificate in human resources would be more valuable than the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certificate from USF.
