A Unique Program Designed For Industry’s Unique Needs

This portfolio was created to assist business owners who must recruit, retain and grow team leaders, as well as individuals seeking to advance their professional skills.  Individuals no longer have to choose between pursuing a college degree or entering a career or trade.  Experienced workers who’ve completed some college coursework can join teams knowing they can finish an undergraduate degree by participating in the programs available through the School of Business.  In addition to degree options, individuals may seek certification in a particular discipline, or they may focus only on the courses they need to move ahead in the industry.

One of PDI’s training partners, Service Nation, is supporting the program as a way to offer extended benefits to members of this large trade association.  Other associations, and individuals, are also welcomed to attend any program.

How Does a Certification Class Equate to College Credit?

Individuals interested in earning the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree can transfer some of these courses as an upper-level elective, or utilize the course for the remaining concentration of a specified academic plan.  Many of these programs are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education®.  Click here to learn more.
