Boost your resume with a fast, flexible online certificate program from SNHU.

What are the best online certificate programs?

The best online certificate program for you is one that meets your interests and needs.

Southern New Hampshire University offers 100% online certificate programs so you can complete your courses from anywhere and on your schedule. Online courses don't have specific times to meet regularly – just weekly deadlines so you can work when you have time. This flexibility is ideal for those already in the workforce.

Other values that make certificates a better fit for you include the price and the time it takes to complete. At SNHU, we're committed to making education accessible and affordable.

Additionally, some certificates from SNHU can be completed in less than 6 months. Earn an undergraduate certificate to document your skills on your way to a higher degree or to access new skills for further developing or changing your career. Earn a graduate certificate to help advance your career and/or keep your skills sharp and up to date with industry growth.

Learn a new skill or refine what you already know with an affordable online certificate program at SNHU.

Are online certificates worth it?

If you develop the skills you seek out to learn, then yes, an online certificate can be worth it.

We say "can" because it's important to research the certificate that you're trying to earn. Short-term programs – like certificates – have become increasingly more popular in the last few years.

But when you earn your certificate at a nonprofit, accredited institution like Southern New Hampshire University, you can trust that the courses that you're taking are ones in which you can learn new skills, are taught by instructors with real-world expertise and have low tuition rates.

And the online space makes it easier than ever to pick up those skills – so nothing can hold you back from taking your career to the next level. You can do classwork at any time of the day that works for you. You'll have all your due dates at the beginning of your term, allowing you to have a better work/life balance. And you can network with your peers and instructors, who can offer you even more real-world advice.

If you truly want to learn more to strengthen your skill set, a certificate is a great option with outcomes that we believe are worth it.

What are some quick certificate programs?

Just by definition, certificate programs are typically quicker to complete than a full degree program.

And at institutions like Southern New Hampshire University, our goal with our certificate programs is to help you learn skills you can apply to your role so that you can move forward in your career.

In fact, some of the certificate programs at SNHU can be completed in 20 weeks. For example, our graduate certificates in advanced counterterrorism and homeland security, forensic accounting, human resource management, Six Sigma and computer programming are only 4 classes.

Sometimes, you can finish your certificate even faster. Our undergraduate certificate in computer programming, for example, can be completed in as few as 16 weeks.

And though some programs are longer, many other SNHU certificates are just a class or two more (5 or 6 classes total).

Plus, a handful of certificates at SNHU have the option to transfer some of your already earned credits. Speak to an admission counselor to see if credits you've earned in the past could apply to the certificate program you're interested in.

No matter how long the certificate program is, it's shorter than a full degree. Both can give you the tools to succeed – but one can do it faster.

Should I get a certificate or master's?

Choosing between a graduate certificate or a master's degree all depends on your goals and what you need to get there.

A graduate certificate will typically cost less – because you're taking fewer courses. At Southern New Hampshire University, some of graduate certificates are only 4 classes, meaning you could possibly finish the program in 20 weeks (sometimes even less).

A certificate could also help you learn just the skills you're looking for. If you have one particular goal in mind, and developing the know-how would only take you a few courses to master, then it makes perfect sense to enroll in a certificate program.

However, a master's degree is never a bad option. It looks excellent on your resume, and some positions require that level of education just for consideration.

And while you think you may only want to learn specific knowledge about a topic, you may be surprised how handy your additional classes may come in. That's because a master's degree offers a specialized curriculum for a deep dive in the topic.

Plus, depending on your schedule, a master's may not take all that long to complete. Many graduate programs at SNHU can be completed in as few as 15 months.

There's always another option: Choose both! A number of SNHU's certificate programs stack into a master's degree, meaning once you finish a certificate program, you're well on your way to earning that graduate degree.

Do employers care about certificates?

According to a survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, those who have earned a certificate or another kind of license make up a significantly larger percentage of the U.S. workforce.1 With this data, it seems likely employers value certificates in who they hire.

This makes sense – a certificate, especially when combined with a college degree, shows dedication to learning and improving your skills.

With this in mind, earning a certificate may help you work toward advancing your career. Some employers even pay for employees' certificate programs, particularly if the skills or certificate gained are important to the job.

If you've been working hard and want to be able to do more or something different, an online certificate – like those offered at Southern New Hampshire University – could help you take that step and earn your employer's approval, too. SNHU offers certificates in areas like project management, finance, human resources, marketing and more.

Can I add online certificates to my resume?

Absolutely. All earned credentials are resources to list on your resume. You worked for the skills and knowledge that comes with the certificate – it shows dedication and motivation for improving yourself and your abilities. Especially if you earned this certificate while employed, it shows you can effectively balance responsibilities from multiple parts of your life without sacrificing quality.

Earning certificates can be great additions to your resume to show employers your skills more clearly. Saying you're good at something is one thing, but having a skill certified by an accredited university is a great asset.

In addition to being able to add the certificates to your resume, some certificates have the added bonus of preparing you for an additional certification – giving you even more opportunities to build up your resume.

For example, the Graduate Project Management Certificate is ideal if you plan to sit for the Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam. The program includes a course that satisfies the educational requirement for the credential.

Another example is the Graduate Certificate in Six Sigma. The program puts you in an excellent position for the Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam – and the potential to put you in a better place for manufacturing, engineering, operations and executive positions.

Similarly, SNHU's graduate-level online CPA Certificates can help prepare you for the specialized discipline areas included in the revised 2024 CPA Exam — Business Analysis and Reporting, Information Systems and Controls or Tax Compliance and Planning.

No matter what certificate you decide to pursue, it's definitely a piece of your resume that can help you stand out.
