Looking to enhance skills for your career or prepare for a professional reset? Washington State University’s Carson College of Business has a new online learning platform to help you.
The business school launched Carson Pro in mid-January. The platform offers non-credit certificate programs that are flexible, fully online and require no prerequisite coursework.
“We are bringing to market what our learners are asking for at specific moments in their professional lives,” said Cheryl Oliver, Carson associate dean for professional programs, in a statement. “These offerings reflect our land-grant mission to provide practical education that makes an immediate difference in real communities and workplaces.”
Available certificates are in finance, management, marketing, accounting, business of aging and wine business management.
Tuition for the finance, management, marketing and accounting certificates is $1,990. For the business of aging and wine business management programs, it is $4,895 and $4,475, respectively, though individual modules cost $495 and $895, respectively.
Plans are in the works to add AI, digital marketing, and program management certificates.
“Most professionals retrain or retool every seven years at a minimum,” said James Montalto, Carson manager of lifelong learning, in a statement. “Our approach with Carson Pro is to encourage people to invest in education over their lifetime.”
