"Traditional colleges as well as alternative providers are rushing to offer short-term certificate programs to give working adults an opportunity for quick retraining. Many higher ed leaders say stackable credentials are a critical piece of this development. Students who come to school for a short period should be able to work toward a degree in the long-term. That’s what will help them most in their careers."
At UTRGV, students can earn two graduate certificates (in E-Learning and Technology Leadership) which can transfer directly into the Master of Education in Educational Technology. This is one way for students to get more value for their money.
