    The answerers above me are partially correct. Prospective employers will look at degrees more favorably than certificates.

    Once you have a bachelors degree, however, you can take 12 hrs. of coursework (500 level courses in your program of studies) while awaiting graduate school acceptance. This is a good use of time and gives you two semesters (two attempts) to gain acceptance to grad school.

    Best wishes.

    Most jobs look for the degree, not the course of study you took. You're better off to get the degree instead of doing a lot of pointless work.

    It's a "paper chase". Get the degree.
