Graduate Certificate in Business

The Certificate in Graduate Business allows students with a 4-year undergraduate degree to obtain a broad-based foundation in business discipline knowledge. To earn the certificate, students must complete 16 credits selected from various graduate business courses.Because the certificate is not a degree, graduates from the certificate program do not participate in University Commencement Exercises. Students wishing to formally apply to the Stillman School’s M.B.A. program upon completion of the certificate must follow the regular application process for graduate business programs. Courses taken for the certificate can be applied to reduce the number of credits that would otherwise be completed for the M.B.A. degree.
