What is the difference between the coding certificate and the degree?
The coding certificate is embedded in the degree. It was offered as a separate certificate beginning in 1997 because we had many requests for people employed in health care who wanted to specialize in this area. It was designed for working adults so it is meant to be part time. Most of the graduates from this certificate are employed as coders or coder/billers. In addition, several certificate graduates have also completed or are in the process of completing the degree.
