What is a Certificate?

A Certificate is a short term goal that provides professional recognition of your knowledge and skills in a given specialty. The earning of a certificate demonstrates a commitment on your part to standards set by the Linfield College Business and Computer Science Departments. Each certificate program consists of 4 to 6 courses. Academic credits are awarded and a certificate is issued by Linfield.  Linfield’s certificate programs offer busy adults the perfect format to earn professional recognition in a given specialty while balancing life, work, and family commitments.  

Who are the Certificate Programs designed for?

The Certificate Programs are designed for adults who want to be competitive in today’s knowledge–driven economy where high demand, well paying occupations depend on an educated workforce. The Certificate program provides continuing education that enables you to build your career and obtain advancement through your knowledge and experience.

Computer Information Systems, Human Resource Management and Marketing Certificates may be earned while completing a bachelor’s degree.  The Accounting Certificate (Post Baccalaureate) is open only to students who have completed a bachelor’s degree.
