Certificate of Completion Requirements

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Certificates of Completion are connected to occupational and/or industry standards and are meant to provide job skills, career training, or occupational readiness. These requirements are meant to be a guide. Individual certificate programs may have specific requirements beyond those listed here, and students must meet the specified requirements in order to receive an award.

Certificates of Completion may be aligned with associate degrees. Each student is strongly encouraged to work with a Lane academic advisor or career counselor to match career goals with an appropriate program.
