Upon successful completion of a program, participants will earn a DePaul Executive Education certificate, with a verifiable Credly digital badge. This credential can be easily added to LinkedIn and other professional platforms to showcase your learning and achievement.

We accept all major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Non-credit students do not qualify for financial aid. However, the financial investment in DePaul’s non-credit certificate program is considerably less than that of a degree-seeking program.

Our Digital Marketing Strategy Certificate Program qualifies for WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding.  In order to find out if you qualify for financial assistance, you must first contact Workforce Development.

Online synchronous learning refers to real-time, interactive classes where students and instructors participate together at the same scheduled time using a Zoom platform. Through online synchronous learning we emphasize real-time participation and interaction, making it ideal for participants who benefit from structured schedules, immediate feedback, and collaborative engagement.

A Flex (commonly referred to in the literature as “HyFlex”) course is taught in a technology-enhanced classroom that allows for students and guests to remotely connect via Zoom and actively participate with students and faculty in the physical classroom. This modality is highly desired by students who enjoy learning in the classroom but want the flexibility to connect online when work or family responsibilities prevent them from traveling to campus. You can attend on campus or remotely via Zoom. You don’t need to commit to one particular mode of attendance – you can choose on the day what works best for you.
