Degree Descriptions
Southwestern offers many kinds of programs to serve your needs!
Career Pathways allow students to gain skills and build toward a degree or certificate program in stages.
Certificates of Completion provide a more in-depth experience in a discipline or field. Often Career Pathways are steps toward Certificates of Completion.
Full degree programs provide students with a well-rounded background to pursue advanced industry and professional training or to transfer to a four-year institution. In some cases, students can earn certificates along the way to their degrees. In other cases, a Southwestern degree is articulated with specific four-year universities.
