Degree Programs: Certificate Programs

 

Certificate Programs

 

Similar to the associate of applied science, certificates are also designed with the purpose of preparing you for employment as soon as you complete the course work. Certificates, however, are shorter in duration than associate degrees. They prepare you for entry level jobs in a variety of fields. Olive-Harvey College offers two types of certificates: the Advanced Certificate and the Basic Certificate. The Advanced Certificate usually takes between one and two years to complete. The Basic Certificate can be completed in less than a year. Below are the certificates offered by Olive-Harvey’s credit division:
