(15,480 posts)14. Yes, but I don't think they will lead to degrees, which you referred to
Heard about a certificate program in "construction management" at U. Cal Berkley, but the guy signed up for it was paying tuition.
Estimated Cost
Each course is priced individually, and you pay the course fee at the time of enrollment. The certificate has an estimated cost of $5,100$5,900 (not including course materials or registration fee). Course fees are subject to change.
Prerequisites for Admission
There are no formal prerequisites for the Certificate Program in Construction Management, but a bachelor's degree or previous construction experience is recommended.
The curriculum comprises 5 core courses (10 semester units) and 60 hours of electives (24 courses) for a total of 14 semester units (210 hours of instruction). Candidates must pay a nonrefundable certificate registration fee.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade. To receive the certificate, you must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0, with a grade of C or better (no C- grades) in each course. A Certificate With Distinction will be awarded to those who complete the certificate with a GPA of 3.7 or higher. All coursework must be completed within five years of registering for the certificate.
