An undergraduate certificate is an academic program that provides students with the skills and knowledge needed for entry-level careers and professional opportunities. Depending on the school, students may be able to use the credits earned in this program to count towards an associate’s or bachelor’s degree program.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
