Certification or Degree? Why Not Both?
For many technology professionals, the core question is whether a degree is "worth it," or if it's better to just earn industry certs. The School of Technology provides education pathways that lead to both. Students earn valuable IT certifications while they earn their bachelor's or master's degree, increasing both the short-term and long-term value of their education. This makes them more marketable on the job market and valuable to employers of all kinds.
