I am investigating GIS Certificate Programs and have a few questions. How valuable are these courses in the eyes of employers? Are they well regarded? Does it depend on the school you go to? If you have a Certificate, do employers regard this as a reason for greater compensation? Is it more important in some industries than in others? I'm looking at Cal Poly Pomona's - in California - Center for Geographic Information Systems Research: http://www.csupomona.edu/~cgisr/webpages/policy.html. Any comments on their program? Any other words of advice?
