CCV announces new certificate programs

Beginning this fall, students will have two additional pathways to high-demand careers through new certificate programs at the Community College of Vermont (CCV).

The new certificate offerings are data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) and manufacturing. These join the college’s 24 existing certificate programs to provide a comprehensive offering of high-value credentials that prepare students for the workplace or further education. Most certificates can be completed in just one year.

“Enrolling in a certificate program can be a great way to advance or get started on a career,” said CCV Academic Dean Deborah Stewart. “Most of the courses are discipline-specific in order to prepare students for the particular work they’ll be performing. In addition, CCV’s certificate programs are stackable. This means that students can take the courses they complete in the certificate and apply them to the relevant associate degree program.”

The College offers 11 associate of arts and associate of science degrees, and 33 of CCV’s 37 certificate and degree programs can be completed fully online.

CCV is Vermont’s second-largest college, serving over 10,000 students each year. With 12 locations, plus online options, students don’t have to travel far from their communities to access CCV degree and certificate programs, workforce, secondary and continuing education opportunities, and academic and veterans support services.

CCV’s fall semester begins Sept. 3. Enrollment is now open for summer and fall.
