What is CSN’s Weekend College?
Our Weekend College offers you the opportunity to enter the workforce, change careers, or pick up a specialty in your field by taking classes on weekends only and earning a skill or industry certificate in a semester or less in most cases. Determined to accommodate the needs of our busy students, CSN’s weekend classes offer the same high-quality instruction and resources as classes taught during the week.
Programs of Study (Certificates)
Through CSN’s Weekend College, a student may complete one of the following types of programs:
- A non-credit INDUSTRY CERTIFICATE that leads to industry-recognized credentials and in-demand skills. The student earns continuing education credentialing.
- A SKILL CERTIFICATE for college credit program earns the individual a stackable credential towards a certificate of achievement and/or associate degree. Both the certificate of achievement and associate degree are eligible for financial aid, unlike a skill certificate. A student may declare the higher level-degree certificate of achievement or associate while working towards the completion of the skill certificate.
- A CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT for college credit program designed for students who are looking for instruction with a high degree of specialization. Certificate of Achievement programs vary in length, usually 30 credits, that offer courses needed to prepare students for immediate employment.
