Business and Management Graduate Certificates
Advanced Fundamentals in Business Management Certificates
Graduate Business and Management Certificates are offered in three fundamental areas:
- Finance
- Marketing
- Basic Business Skills
These certificates offer skills and competencies for business professionals to upgrade their knowledge in areas such as finance, marketing, and basic business management. A participant applies directly for a certificate program and enrolls in courses after acceptance without needing to apply to a master's degree program. Students can later choose to apply these courses to an appropriate graduate degree program at the University. After completing courses required for one certificate program, a student would need to apply and be admitted into one of the business and management degree programs at the University before taking additional graduate courses in certificate or degree programs.
Full graduate tuition is charged for courses in this certificate program. For current tuition information, please see the Tuition and Fees page. See the Master of Business Administration (MBA) listings for course descriptions.
