Frequently asked questions

What is a graduate certificate?

A graduate certificate is an academic credential that provides you with specialized knowledge and skills in a specific area of study. Graduate certificates are typically pursued after earning your bachelor’s degree, and they can help you to:

• Seek new career opportunities or advancements.
• Switch careers or fields in a short time period.
• Prepare for an industry certification or license.

Is a graduate certificate worth it? 

Yes, for many people, earning a graduate certificate is worth it. A graduate certificate is a great way to expand your skills and boost your career qualifications in about a year — or less on an accelerated schedule.4 Our online certificate programs can also help position you to move ahead in your industry without the time commitment of a longer degree program.

What’s the difference between a graduate certificate and a degree?

The main differences between a graduate certificate and a graduate degree are the scopes of study, the time each takes to complete, and the impact on your career. To break it down:

Graduate certificate:

• Focuses on essential skills in a specialized area of study.
• Requires fewer classes and can be completed in a shorter time frame.
• Allows you to build your resume more quickly.

Graduate degree:

• Provides more robust knowledge in a specialized field..
• Immerses you in general business topics like management and leadership.
• Includes more in-depth coursework and therefore typically takes longer to complete.

Can I get a graduate certificate without a degree?

Yes, you can. While a bachelor's degree is required to enroll in a graduate certificate program, you don’t have to possess or pursue a master's to earn your certificate. However, if you choose to continue your education after earning a certificate, you can stack qualifying credits into a related master’s program1 here at Keller.

What are the benefits of a graduate certificate?

There are many benefits of a graduate certificate, including:

• Gaining specialized knowledge and in-depth skills in a specific area of study.
• Earning a potentially career-advancing credential in a shorter amount of time than a master’s degree program.
• Providing a more affordable alternative for gaining advanced qualifications compared to longer degree programs.

What’s more, like all our programs at Keller, you can earn your graduate certificate online — so you can more easily balance your career, family, education, and all of life’s other obligations.
