Earn College Credits for Passing Your Certifications

When you earn Certifications at the Hub, the work you have done replaces some of the classes you need to earn an Associate’s degree in IT through the School of Technology and Design at Rasmussen College. You essentially “test out” some of the needed courses. This means that you are closer to earning a degree in Information Technology, and you are closer to earning a better salary and having more options when it comes to choosing where you want to work.

Each Certification exam typically replaces one class, which is worth three credits. View the chart below for more information on just some of the classes you can “test out” of, and if you still have questions, give us a call at (952) 230-3090. We have the answers.
