Career Pathway Certificate of Completion Requirements

Career Pathway Certificates of Completion (CPC) are between 12-44 credits and are fully embedded in an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Certificate of Completion, offering a pathway to additional education and career advancement. They acknowledge proficiency in specific technical skills and are a milestone toward completion of a more advanced program. CPCs help students qualify for entry-level jobs, enhance their current program, or advance in their current field of employment.

Lane offers a variety of CPCs aimed at beginning, intermediate, and advanced knowledge and skills. To learn more about Career Pathway Certificates of Completion, visit the Workforce Development webpage. 

Requirements

  • Unless otherwise specified by individual programs, complete all courses with a letter grade of C- or better, or Pass.
  • Cumulative GPA must be at least 2.0 when the certificate is awarded.

Learning Outcomes

Lane degrees and certificates are aligned with Lane's Institutional Learning Outcomes and Oregon Learning Outcomes. Career Pathway Certificates also have program-specific learning outcomes. See individual programs for details.
