All of the eSpelman Certificates and courses are designed by Spelman College faculty members.
eSpelman offers working adults the opportunity to learn in an environment that was designed for diverse learners. Each certificate program is designed to teach skills and educate students through a perspective that incorporates the "Spelman Magic" – a first-rate, high-touch education with an approach that acknowledges conversations around race, class, gender and social justice as foundational, regardless of the course subject matter.
