Why Choose Career Advancement Skills?

Business executives and hiring managers agree—to succeed and advance in today’s workforce, you need to communicate clearly in oral and written form, function well in a multicultural workplace, demonstrate ethical judgment, and think critically. Wright State offers the only certificates in the region focused on those skills—and on making you more marketable to potential employers!

If you are a College of Liberal Arts (COLA) student, you already completed three of the six career advancement skills I courses while fulfilling Wright State Core and college requirements. Non-COLA students complete two courses automatically.

The Career Advancement Skills II certificate allows you to acquire a credential after honing overarching skills and knowledge desired by employers.

Both programs offer online course options. Transfer credit may be applied.
