For me, the answer is yes, however, it depends on what you want to get from the specialization. I just completed the Neuroscience: Perception, Action and the Brain that was offered by Duke University. I must say that I learned a lot about neuroscience and I enjoyed the capstone project which had me assemble a research proposal.

This specialization helped me to confirm I would like to continue studying neuroscience and helped me narrow my focus (the retina and optic nerve). I am an older student, returning to school, with aspirations to do neurophysiology research after working as an engineer for 30 years, so I didn't have the expectation of the specialization finding me a new job. I will certainly use what I learned to help me find the right graduate program.
