Cert in Business/Corporate Communications

This certificate in communication and computer skills builds core abilities in written, interpersonal and digital communication. It works for students who want the credential itself and for those who plan to continue toward an associate degree. The writing, interpersonal communication and computer classes teach students to draft and revise, to take part effectively in groups, and to choose communication styles that suit particular audiences. They also examine verbal and nonverbal communication across varied settings. The certificate can be finished in one semester through in-person and hybrid classes. Graduates can put the skills to work in a related job, or count the credits toward a business degree at the college. Tuition is charged per credit, and the college lists a separate per-credit rate for fully online courses. Eligible students may also look into the North Star Promise program, which provides free tuition.
