WEEKEND COLLEGE: WELCOME!



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.
(Find out more about the college credit skill certificates at www.csn.edu/WeekendCollege.)
