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 of study as a means to acquire a specific body of knowledge and/or develop specific career skills. Certificate programs offer employment preparation opportunities and the opportunity to upgrade skills for those who are already employed. Courses successfully completed, and the credits earned as part of a certificate program, are acceptable toward an associate degree if the student wishes to continue his/her educational pursuits. The certificate programs are not designed for transfer to a four year institution; however, the specific courses and hours completed as part of a certificate program may be used as part of a program of study that is intended for transfer. Certificate programs are available at Motlow in mechatronics and early childhood education. 

REGENTS ONLINE CAMPUS COLLABORATIVE/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 Campus collaborative, and in particular, 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.
