A Fast Way to Get Berkeley Onto Your Resume

By Marty Nemko

Unfortunately, brand name counts. When employers decide whom to interview, graduating from Berkeley is usually a plus. Chico State isn't. A fast way to get Berkeley onto your resume is to complete a Berkeley Extension certificate program. It's not just fast, it may more validly certify your career competence than a Berkeley degree, which by the University's own admission, emphasizes theory over practice. Berkeley Extension offers 75 career-practical one-to-two-year certificate programs, everything from accounting to web design, Cisco routers to college counseling, interior design to garden design, publishing to editing.
