Certificate or Degree Programs
NIGS - National Institute of Genealogical Studies - http://www.genealogicalstudies.com/

Offers Professional Learning Certificates in various "tracks." Can buy one course, a packet of courses, or an entire program. No set timeperiod for completion of certificate. In my opinion, each course is approximately the equivalent of a 1-credit college seminar class.
