Southwestern Child Development Commission is proud to partner with University of Massachusetts Global to provide undergraduate-level professional development credits to students who complete trainings/coursework with Southwestern Child Development Commission.

​

​

​

 

University of Massachusetts is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. These credits are professional development units that are not part of a degree program but instead are primarily used for professional advancement (such as salary increment steps and re-certification). One semester credit is equivalent to 15 hours. Students should seek approval of appropriate district or school officials before enrolling in these course to satisfy any degree, state credential, or local school district requirements. State licensing departments vary regarding their criteria or credit acceptance and some states may not accept credit from universities located outside of the state.
