Graduate Certificate in Business

The Graduate Certificate in Business is a flexible, fast-paced program designed for non-business degree holders who wish to gain a basic knowledge of business functions without enrolling for an MBA degree. The program offers relevant business knowledge pertaining to the daily operations of business in corporate, not-for-profit, and entrepreneurial settings.

Coursework includes four major areas of business – accounting, finance, management, and marketing, while offering flexibility through elective courses.

Classes will be offered at least once every semester, allowing coursework to be completed in as little as one semester, or as long as three years. Students may attend part-time or full-time.
