EVERGREEN COLLEGE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS?

I'm looking at certificate programs at Evergreen and am interested in two: Small Business and Creative Entrepreneurship and Non-profit Administration.

Trying to decide which to pursue.

I am a public relations consultant who has focused on work in the non-profit sector for most of my career. But I also have worked with small businesses who "get" the need for public relations and are seeking to do good things for the world.

I would apply my new knowledge from either certificate with clients all around the Puget Sound. I'm ready to travel and go where the work can be had.

I'm drawn to the non-profit certificate for the courses on fundraising and leadership & management. But the small business certificate offers what looks to be useful info around business development and start-ups. However, it seems to stop with the "start" stage.

Are there other sources (Coursera? Or ???) for the business certificate info that'd be recommended?

Any insight into the two programs and what YOU found and have used from either would be most appreciated.

I assume you’ve checked out the course descriptions in the catalog, have you reached out to the certificate office yet? They’ve got people who know the curriculum really well— its the next best thing to talking to the faculty directly
