GPE Certificate Offerings
Baylor Graduate Professional Education (GPE) firmly believes that every individual harbors a passion that deserves to be realized in practice. GPE empowers learners to actualize their passion through an extensive range of certificate programs. No matter your chosen career, GPE has a certificate that can help you reach your goals; from upskilling and skill learning with Extended Learning non-credit options, to Professional Education’s for-credit offerings that progress you towards an advanced degree, GPE has you covered.
Certificates serve as an ideal avenue to explore new career fields or gauge interest in advanced degrees without the full commitment required by university enrollment. Non-credit certificates equip individuals with essential skills for entry into a chosen field or refreshed skills in your current role. Conversely, credit-bearing options offer the added advantage of counting towards an advanced degree at Baylor—providing a head start on graduate education by contributing credits towards a potential degree, and serving as a segway back into the world of higher education after being in the workforce.
When deliberating over which type of certificate to pursue—credit or non-credit—the pivotal question is: “What are my objectives?” Answering this question paves the way to identifying necessary steps towards achieving those goals. For those early in their careers aiming for rapid advancement, pursuing an advanced degree supplemented by interim certifications could accelerate progress. Alternatively, several career fields don’t require an advanced degree and a non-credit certificate could equip you with everything you need to start a long and prosperous career in a quick and cost-efficient manner.
In collaboration with industry education leaders such as MindEdge, Ed2Go, and AAPC, we continuously update our portfolio with cutting-edge certificate programs. Our recent launch includes a comprehensive non-credit medical billing & coding certificate developed alongside AAPC—a toolkit designed to jumpstart careers in this burgeoning field. Additionally, the Hankamer School of Business extends several for-credit certifications covering areas from executive communication to global supply chain management.
Baylor Graduate Professional Education’s diverse certificate offerings provide flexible and practical solutions for professional growth. Whether you’re looking to advance in your current career, transition to a new field, or lay the groundwork for an advanced degree, GPE’s certificates are designed to help you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively.
