Google will offer career certificates, equivalent to 4-year degrees in data analysis, project management

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California – As US universities are reformatting the way classes are delivered, Google goes one step further by providing its own certificates, CNBC reported.

The Mountain View, California-based company said the certificates are equivalent to a four-year degree, with offerings like data analysis, project management and user experience design (UX). They will also be taught by Google employees themselves.

Google also said that tuition for these certificates will be “remarkably affordable” compared to a traditional four-year university, which averages approximately $ 18,000 for public universities.

Courses will be offered by Coursera, and a prior university degree is not required to apply. The courses will take about six months to complete.

Scholarships will be offered to those who qualify for financial aid.

Google also offers other courses in addition to certificates, such as digital wellness and success in a digital market. You can find a list by clicking here.
