The ZU offers a number of online and in-person certificate programs designed to give you the skills you need to succeed in your specialty, or to change specialties within your field. Because certificate courses are taught by professionals with extensive experience in their field, with a focus on the most relevant practical skills, many students choose to get a certificate rather than an actual degree. Certificate courses are all about putting theory into practice. Some students also use certificate courses to enhance their excellence or qualification in the degree they already have.
