Performance Package Certificate Programs

University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College offers a number of Performance Package Certificate programs to help students upgrade skills and knowledge, making them more marketable professionals and more valuable employees. Each Performance Package Certificate consists of three courses that build production or critical skills in a particular discipline. Students can typically complete a Performance Package Certificate program in one year by taking one course per term, but Media Communications and Technology students can complete a number of the Certificate programs as they complete the required courses for the Associate of Applied Science degree or Professional Certificate program.

Ten Performance Package Certificate programs are currently available with all of the courses offered by Media Communications and Technology. Students must earn a grade of C or better in each course to receive the Certificate of Achievement for a Performance Package. Students will receive the certificate upon approval of the application form, and may complete any number of certificate packages. Contact lou.olenick@uc.edu for application forms.

The Performance Packages may also be taken in addition to the Associate of Applied Science or the One-Year Certificate program for focused training in a specific technical skill or content area, and an enhanced set of professional credentials upon completion of the program.

A grade of C or better must be earned in all Media Communications and Technology courses that serve as prerequisite requirements, or as capstone experiences, to be eligible to graduate from the program. Courses transferring from other institutions with less than a grade of C may not be applied to courses that serve as prerequisite requirements in any Media Communications and Technology program. Students should see the program advisor about these requirements.
