CSU Global designed its online certificates, specializations, and degrees to work as building blocks for students, and these stackable credentials are also entirely online, which brings added convenience and flexibility for adult learners. With these programs, students can gain expertise in their current discipline or field while also working toward longer-term career goals. Students work with an enrollment counselor, advisor, and industry career coach to create an education plan that meets both their needs and those of their potential employer. Students start with a short-term certificate program specialization that can be stacked toward completing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a related field.
