Not everyone needs a full degree to move forward in their career – sometimes all it takes is the right set of courses.

Whether you are an employer or an individual, UMPI’s Career & Workforce Solutions offers short certificates and non-degree credentials designed to help reach your goals. Take a single course to sharpen one skill, or combine several to build towards something bigger. Whichever path you take, you’ll be building on previous knowledge and gaining something more, so the skills you develop today can keep working for you tomorrow.

YourPace at a Glance

Built-in Flexibilty

With YourPace, you can study when it’s convenient for you, at your speed. Courses run in convenient 8-week terms, so you can move through material faster, with six start dates throughout the year and no rigid classroom schedule required.

Work-Relevant Skills

UMPI regularly meets with employers in each sector to learn what skills they are looking for in current and new hires to ensure what you learn is relevant to workforce needs.

Stackable, Portable Credentials

Pursue courses at your own pace. Each credit and credential you earn builds toward something bigger and stays with you no matter where your career goes next.

Real Affordability

You pay a flat rate per session ($1,800 for undergraduate, $2,450 for graduate). Short certificates and standalone courses mean you invest only in what you need, without the cost or time commitment of a full degree program.
