Google Career Certificates
The College of Business has established a two-year partnership with Coursera to offer six Google Professional Certificates. This gives us the opportunity to provide access to Google Professional certificates to COB Students, Alumni, Staff, Faculty, and Administrators. This includes Faculty using one or more of the certificate programs (including micro-credentials in each certificate program) for a course they teach.
The partnership will be in effect from January 2023 - December 2024. To maximize participation, seats will be allocated on a 6-month term for individuals and by semester for course-related engagement. Extensions may be allowed, based on demand and availability
The 6 Professional Certificate Programs offered through this partnership are self-paced. For more complete descriptions, please view each short description below and follow the links for more details, information, career opportunities, typical income ranges, and more.
