Program Information:
The Business Management Certificate Options consists of three independent plans of study in the areas of Finance, Management, and Sales and Marketing. Students may choose to complete any of these individual plans of study to earn a certificate in Business Management with an emphasis in that respective area. If students' progress through all three plans of study satisfactorily, they will need only to complete wellness electives to be eligible to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in Business Management.
Designed to meet the needs of an adult population, this program is delivered in a hybrid or blending of face-to-face and online learning.
As stand-alone certificates, these classes may provide learners with the opportunity to learn and/or enhance their selling and communication skills; to understand their role as a manager/ supervisor; or to provide the knowledge needed to analyze the financial workings of an organization. These skills, combined with real-world experience and the numerous leadership opportunities that will be available, will enable the learner to develop into a valuable asset in the business community.
