Suzanne OliverBusiness Analysis Certificate

“In my role as IT project manager, I have seenan increase in customer demand for morein-depth business analysis work, and I felt Ineeded more formal training this area.

“The UD Business Analysis Certificate providedme with the tools and techniques I needed toadd structure to the entire business analysisprocess. The course also followed theInternational Institute of Business Analysis(IIBA) standards, which helped me prepare forand pass the IIBA Certified Business AnalysisProfessional (CBAP) certification.

“When I started the certificate program, mygoal was to learn more about the field ofbusiness analysis. However, the instructor—probably one of the best I have ever had—provided encouragement, guidance andsupport toward gaining certification. Hisknowledge of business analysis, combinedwith his ability to promote teamwork, provideguidance and support, and add an element ofhumor, helped me get through thischallenging course.

“I believe there is a growing demand for thebusiness analysis skill set, and the CBAPcertification helped to solidify my career in this field.

“This is my second continuing educationcourse at UD. A couple of years ago Icompleted the Project ManagementCertificate course, which I would also highlyrecommend. The instructors, coursework andlocation are excellent!”

Suzanne Oliver, PMP, CBAP, is a senior projectmanagement specialist for the State ofDelaware, in the Department of Technologyand Information.

Return to college, boost your career

You may have decided you need to add a credential to your

resume, or you might be thinking of a college degree to boost

your career.

The research would back you up. Statistics show thatearnings consistently increase with level of education. On average, workers over 25 years old with

bachelor's degrees earn an astonishing 70% more than their

counterparts with high school diplomas.

Presidential initiatives underscore the importance of higher

education for individuals to succeed and compete. As emphasized

in White House statements on education, “Earning a post-

secondary degree or credential is no longer just a pathway to

opportunity for a talented few; rather, it is a prerequisite for the

growing jobs of the new economy.”

For many individuals, completing a college degree they may

have started earlier in life is an option well worth pursuing, and

education researchers project dramatic growth in the number

of individuals enrolling in college after the age of 25.

In addition, people are turning to certificate programsto boost their earnings, add

competencies to theirresume and

improve their careerprospects.Professional

development

certificate

programs also

provide an

excellent way to earn

a credential or retool for

a job change.

“Certificates are a

homegrown

American

invention and

are expanding

rapidly in

response to a wide

range of educational

and labor market demands,”

reported researchers at Georgetown University, further noting

that the post-secondary certificate has become a cost-effective

tool for increasing educational attainment and gainful

employment in the U.S.

If it's been a while since you were in school, you may be wondering

if college is still right for you. Some prospective returning

students feel unsure whether they could be successful in college-

level coursework after being away from a classroom environment

for a while.

But once they've started, returning college students report finding a renewed commitment for success.“This time around, I'm focused,” said one returning student.

“I found that my studying techniques and time management

skills were much improved from when I was a younger student,”

reported another.

For those considering a return to college, whetherfor a degree or certificate program, the Universityof Delaware ACCESS Center provides free academicadvisement and support. Advisors can help identify

career and educational goals; develop educational plans;

implement decisions; and build learning skills.

5930GuideF16_Guide 6/22/16 2:34 PM

The advancements and continued development of medical and

communications technology have had a profound impact on the

practice of medicine and offer opportunities for improving the

delivery and accessibility of health care in and across the many

professions responsible for the wellbeing of Delawareans. Delaware

is well-positioned to embrace efforts that will encourage health

insurers and health care providers to support the use of telemedicine.

—Delaware House Bill No. 69 relating to telemedicine services

An important milestone for telehealth initiatives in Delaware was

reached with a new law requiring insurers to cover health care

services delivered via telemedicine, making Delaware the 29th

state to take this stance.

The Telehealth in Delaware Conference was subsequently held

last fall, bringing together state, regional and national experts to

discuss the challenges and opportunities for telehealth initiatives

in Delaware and the region.

Offered through a partnership between Delaware Health and

Social Services (DHSS), the Delaware Telehealth Coalition and the

University of Delaware’s Division of Professional and Continuing

Studies, the conference explored telehealth’s applicability to a

wide variety of health care settings and specialties, including

emergency care, psychiatric services,

rural health care, occupational

therapy, chronic disease

care, dental care, aging

in place, speech

therapy and mental

health services.

Building on that

momentum, the

University of Delaware’s

new Advanced Telehealth

Coordinator Certificate

program is being

launched in Fall

2016, aimed at

professionals

who wish to

gain the

knowledge

and skills

necessary to

support and expand the

use of telehealth applications within

their health care organizations, and prepare for

the continued growth of telehealth in Delaware and the region.

The Advanced Telehealth Coordinator Certificate program

director and lead instructor is Carolyn Morris, M.H.S.A., director

of telehealth planning and development for DHSS and co-chair

of the Delaware Telehealth Coalition, as well as one of last year's

conference organizers. Additional program faculty include

Gerard Galluci, M.D., DHSS medical director; Ingrid Pretzer-Aboff,

R.N., Ph.D., research director of UD’s Nurse Managed Primary Care

Center and director of UD’s Parkinson's Clinic; and Albert Rizzo,

M.D., chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine,

Christiana Care Health System.

Edward MooreUniversity of Delaware alumnus, B.S.,Business Administration

“Early on in my career I was a self-taughtcomputer programmer. My formal educationconsisted of a few classes at a couple differentcolleges, well short of a degree. Althoughadvancement in the technical space wasn’t as constrained by lack of education, progressinto the management ranks certainly was.

“I needed a practical path to getting myundergraduate degree and that’s whereContinuing Education at the University ofDelaware came in.

“Early on, I worked with my advisor to list allthe classes I would need to graduate, aroadmap that helped me break what seemedlike a huge undertaking down intomanageable pieces. It gave me a clear, focusedand achievable goal I could work toward, andfor me that was the key to success. To this day,I still have the paper with all the classeschecked off.

“I graduated with honors right at the top of my class. I clearly recall graduation day andremember thinking that this moment was whyI invested my time, made the sacrifices—and it was worth it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

“Since then, I moved up in the managementranks, went on to complete my MBA and haveadvanced into management and strategyconsulting—that’s a long way from aself-taught programmer.

“Even though it was a long journey, the start Ireceived from the Continuing Education teammade me understand that a degree wasrealistic and achievable, made me believe inmyself and provided the encouragement andsupport that allowed me to succeed. I couldn’thave done it without them!”

Edward Moore graduated magna cum laudefrom the University of Delaware with a B.S.,Business Administration, later earning an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’sWharton School.
