Are Certificate Programs Worth it?!?

<p>Hello, I am planning to attend Florida International University to get a certificate in hospitality management.</p>

<p>I was wondering how far it would get me in the hospitality industry? Obviously its not as good as a degree but if I get an entry level position, would I be able to be promoted for higher positions later years with a certificate?</p>

<p>(Btw I currently go to a community college, planning to finish and get an associates degree the least. )</p>

<p>Here is a link to their site and some info on the program :slight_smile:

<p>I am not bright on these topics, so please if anyone could enlighten me. I’d much appreciate it. :)</p>
