Curricula leading to the associate in applied science degree are for students planning to follow a career program to prepare for employment.

A certificate program is a sequence of courses in a specialized academic and/or technical area requiring approximately two or three years of part-time or one year full-time course work. Completion of the course work required for a specific program with a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher entitles the student to a certificate of achievement in that field of specialization.

Courses in certificate programs are offered in the evening as well as during the day to permit part-time evening students to meet their particular training needs and to reach an obtainable goal within a reasonable period of time. All courses creditable toward a certificate are also applicable toward an associate degree. For additional information contact Admissions at 847.925.6707 (e-mail: admissions@harpercollege.edu).
