Explore Specific Program Pathways
Through CSN's Weekend College, a student may complete one of three types of programs:
- A SKILLS CERTIFICATE for college credit program earns the individual a stackable credential towards a certificate of achievement and/or associate degree. Both the certificate of achievement and associate degree are eligible for financial aid, unlike a skills certificate. A student may declare the higher level-degree certificate of achievement or associate while working toward the completion of the skills certificate.
- A CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT for college credit program designed for students who are looking for instruction with a high degree of specialization. Certificate of Achievement programs vary in length, usually 30 credits, that offer courses needed to prepare students for immediate employment.
- A non-credit INDUSTRY CERTIFICATE that leads to industry-recognized credentials. The student earns continuing education credentialing.
