Norwich University is now offering graduate-level certificates in subjects including public administration and information security & assurance.
The College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS) has added graduate certificate programs to its portfolio of online offerings. This expansion of its online portfolio includes eight public administration certificates and four information security & assurance, with classes available in March 2017.
Considered one of the fastest growing postsecondary credentials, certificates are designed to help professionals and lifelong learnings looking to enhance their skills, or develop specialized knowledge in a specific area. Through the completion of one of Norwich’s online graduate certificate programs, students will receive 12 graduate-level credits.
This opens the pathway to enter Norwich’s online Master of Public Administration or Master of Science in Information Security & Assurance program, helping students earn a master’s degree in as little as one year.
