Oregon Tech’s Online Learning campus is expanding its offerings with 12 new certificates.

The expansion is in response to growing demand in three focus areas: writing; social, culture, and ethics; and business and technology.

Oregon Tech’s Dean of Online Learning and Global Engagement Ruth Claire Black, Ed.D., explained that demand for online certificates is increasing nationwide with strong enrollment increases among young students and individuals in career transition and those seeking career advancement.

“This new suite of online certificate offerings will support these student communities and expand Oregon Tech’s reach to include students who are not looking for a full degree program,” said Dr. Black.

Now, in addition to existing certificates in Clinical Sleep Health and Polysomnographic Technology, Oregon Tech offers:
