### Is a graduate certificate worth it?

Earning your graduate certificate means you're getting condensed skill development that could replace years of professional experience—at a lower cost and shorter timeframe than a master's degree. Professionals with a graduate certificate enjoy higher salaries, job promotions, and smooth career pivots.

Our guide will walk you through the top things to know about earning an online graduate certificate, such as:

- **How does a graduate certificate differ from a traditional master's degree?**
- **What is the ROI of a graduate certificate?**
- **What career outcomes can I expect from my graduate certificate?**

...and more.

 Adding a graduate certificate to your resume gives you a reputable background in your field without an extensive career or the investment in a master’s program.
