Post-Master's Graduate Certificates

For non-business master's degree students
The Post-Master's Graduate Certificate in General Management is a 15 credit hour course of study designed to accommodate individuals with a graduate degree in a non-business field who seek core business knowledge. The program emphasizes course work that covers the major disciplines within the field of business. Upon completion, students will have core knowledge of common business practices and corporate procedures.

Completing the prescribed course of study in a post-master's graduate certificate leads to a certificate officially granted by the university and not to a degree. Course work completed within this program can subsequently be transferred (if sufficiently current) to a graduate business degree program.
