The Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) is a 15-credit hour program of study in management designed for individuals who work full-time but want to enhance their current management skills or add a graduate certificate to an existing undergraduate degree. This 15-credit hour Certificate can be finished on a part-time basis in as little as 9-12 months. The five courses that make up the certificate are the five foundation courses in the MBA and will apply towards the MBA should a student wish to continue their studies. This program is intended for someone with an undergraduate degree in a field other than business who may not wish to pursue a Master’s degree just yet.

Admission

Students should submit a completed application, application fee, and official transcripts showing their undergraduate degree. For students who may need a refresher in computer technology or programs such as Microsoft Excel, we suggest that they take advantage of the self-tutorials online. New students will be advised of their options once admitted.
