Program Description
Graduate certificates prepare students to increase their marketability to employers through focused learning. When the graduate certificate option is pursued, students may be required to complete preliminary work to adequately prepare the student to gain full benefit from the corporate-defined coursework. Upon successful completion of the graduate certificate, students are able to transfer all credits earned into the MBA program, and the GMAT will not be required for MBA application.
Note: A specialization is a designated set of courses that provides focused study in a specific area. Most certificate programs have a corresponding specialization comprised of a subset of the certificate’s courses. A certificate requires 15-18 credits, whereas a specialization requires only 9. Students may not earn a certificate and a specialization in the same area of study. Both are recorded on students’ transcripts; however, unlike certificates, specializations are not recognized as separate credentials.
