Triton College Expands Affordable Online Certificate Options for Out-Of-District Students

The A Building at Triton College is home to a variety of support services designed to help students thrive academically, including the Library and the Academic Success Center.

RIVER GROVE, Ill. — Triton College is expanding access to affordable, career-aligned education for out-of-district students through its offering of three online career certificate programs.

These fully online certificate pathways — Business Management, Human Resources Management and Basic Early Childhood Education — are designed for busy adults looking to advance their careers. The online format provides flexible opportunities for students to further their education, pursue a credential or advance their careers — wherever they live and wherever they choose to learn.

Each program enables students to learn according to the demands of their schedules while gaining practical skills that translate directly into the workplace.

• Business Management: Build a foundation in accounting, marketing, human resources, while developing the leadership and technical skills needed for high-earning management roles.
• Human Resources Management: Learn the essentials of recruiting, training and labor relations as you prepare to support an organization's most valuable resource — its people.
• Basic Early Childhood Education: Gain hands-on experience in child development and classroom practice while working in an award-winning licensed child care center.

"No matter where you live, these online certificate programs make it easier to gain the skills employers are looking for without putting your life on hold," said Alejandro Mendoza, director of Admissions at Triton College. "From the moment you apply through the completion of your program, our team is here to help you stay on track and achieve your educational and career goals."

All three programs are offered at $158 per credit hour, a savings of $239 compared with the out-of-district rate. Financial aid is also available to help make education even more affordable.

Online learning at Triton offers convenience without sacrificing quality. Students receive the same personalized instruction as on-campus students, along with access to free tutoring, library services, counseling and wellness resources, career planning support and more.
