What students are saying

Achievable

“I attempted to take this program last summer on my own, and failed. Only completed Coursera Course 1, paid for a subscription for an additional 3 months before canceling. The due dates really helped instill additional diligence and discipline to complete the whole program, and I did while taking multiple other courses!”

Applicable

“I was able to immediately apply knowledge to my work. It’s been incredibly helpful, particularly in understanding complex projects and how to examine the processes, not the people.”

Engaging

“This was a great experience. I’m so glad I enrolled in the certificate. Even though it’s a course that I could have taken through Coursera, it was much more engaging to have a Boise State faculty member leading us, and Boise State students to interact with.”
