Build Your Career With Stackable Credentials

Stack Your Knowledge

At the College of Professional Studies, we make education work for your life and career. Our stackable credentials let you start small, build momentum, and decide how far you want to go.

Begin with a single course to experience our flexible format, earn credits, and gain career-ready skills you can immediately use on the job. Then earn a 6-course certificate (in as little as six months) and you’re halfway to your master’s degree!

Every credential you earn applies seamlessly to the next level, creating a clear, flexible path from short-term learning to long-term advancement.

At DU’s College of Professional Studies, your education grows with you—one course, one certificate, one degree at a time.
