Technical Certificate of Credit Programs

Business and Technology

A certificate of credit program enables the college to provide a short-term program in a concentrated area to develop specific career skills. Certificate of credit programs are available at Motlow in microcomputer software applications and early childhood education. Credits earned in these programs are acceptable toward the associate degree if the student decides to continue. The certificate of credit program is designed for the student who does not intend to transfer to a four-year institution.

REGENTS ONLINE DEGREE PROGRAM TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE OF CREDIT

Motlow College, in conjunction with other Tennessee Board of Regents’ (TBR) colleges and universities, is a participant in the Regents Online Degree Program (RODP). The mission and purpose of the program is to improve access to high-quality, affordable, student-centered learning opportunities through the use of technology. The RODP allows students to earn a college degree or technical certificate of credit entirely online. Courses offered as part of the RODP are offered and conducted by the different colleges and universities within the TBR systems, and consequently, maintain the same content and rigor as all other college courses. All the RODP courses are taught online (Internet) in an interactive, asynchronous format. This allows students to pursue a college degree or technical certificate of credit without having to attend traditional on-campus classroom instruction. (See section entitled Professional Studies major/Regents Online Degree Program.)
