Graduate Certificates

Enroll in short-term certificate programs within the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation and enhance your education. Certificate programs can help you prepare for a graduate degree or simply explore a specific area of business in more depth.

Graduate Certificates

Courses offered for graduate certificates include a mix of face-to-face (F2F) and online (DL) courses.
Applicants must submit the following for admission:

  • Transcript showing evidence of a bachelor's degree with at least a 2.7 cumulative GPA
  • Resume
  • Application and fee

No GMAT/GRE is required for certificate programs. However, if the student later applies to a master's degree program, a GMAT/GRE score may be required. Admission to a certificate program does not guarantee admission to a master's degree program.
