      Certificate Programs in Chemistry

      Certificate programs offer a set curriculum that covers the basics of a certain subject. Some certificates offer advanced coursework as well, depending on the institution. Generally speaking, a certificate offers a solid background on a topic in a shorter amount of time than a bachelor's degree would.

      What is a certificate in chemistry? Many people find chemistry to be harder than other subjects, and a certificate in the field would greatly benefit one who is interested in broadening his knowledge on the subject without making it his major. The field itself has virtually infinite applications, so students can choose to take a general approach or focus on a specific topic, such as pharmaceutical or green chemistry. Many schools offer post-baccalaureate programs so that students can augment their existing knowledge and expand their career potential in doing so.

      Many countries are experiencing a lack of science and math students, which creates a potentially unsaturated job market for graduates. Students who specialize in a scientific field have better chances at landing a career with a competitive salary for this reason.

      The cost of a certificate program like this depends on the demand. Since such science-focused programs are a solid investment in a student's future, some institutions feel that they can justify a high price. Others acknowledge the societal need for more science-minded individuals and will offer lower tuition and financial aid.

      Chemists are typically required to have a bachelor's degree in order to enter into the field, so earning a more advanced degree would be the next logical step after coming to an understanding of chemistry basics with the certificate. Alternatively, you could successfully enter into the field as a chemical technician. Technicians are not required to complete as much schooling, so a certificate would be ideal on its own.
