Human resource and compensation professionals may receive college credit for completed Certified Employee Benefit Specialist® (CEBS) coursework through an alliance between the CEBS Program and Capella University, an accredited online university. The CEBS professional designation program is administered by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, the largest educational organization in the employee benefits field.
The education alliance provides college credit for CEBS coursework on an individual, course-by-course basis – and means that individuals who have completed CEBS courses may have a head start toward an academic degree. The credits may be applied toward a bachelor’s or master’s degree from Capella’s School of Undergraduate Studies or School of Business and Technology.
“The pursuit of a college degree and a professional designation is demanding and requires a serious level of commitment,” said Daniel Graham, senior director, CEBS Program. “The blending of professional coursework with academic achievement is one of the keys to helping students shape their future career paths.”
