Skill Specific Certificates

Macomb’s Skill Specific Certificates can be a permanent solution, or a first step in developing, changing, or upgrading your career.

The Skill Specific Certificates are a series of courses in an area of study that will provide you with employable skills in as little as 16 weeks. These employer‑endorsed certificates reverse the traditional order of obtaining your education in a career or technical field. Instead of scheduling all the Arts and& Sciences courses (English, mathematics, etc.) your first semester and then taking the elective courses that apply to your field of work, the order is reversed. In some cases, after just one semester, you will have the skills you need to seek employment or upgrade in your current job. Most credit hours earned via a Skill Specific Certificate can be applied to program certificates and associate’s degrees. The student is required to complete the work specified in the Skill Specific Certificate program and:

  • A minimum of 5 credit hours and a maximum of 20 credit hours with at least a 2.0 grade point average in each course.
  • Students may apply approved industry standard certifications or equivalent courses taken at an accredited college or university toward this certificate. Students are required to take at Macomb a minimum of 25 percent of the total credit hours required for the certificate. For example, if a certificate requires 13 credit hours students would be required to take a minimum of 3 credit hours at Macomb. (13 credit hours x 25%=3.25)
