Business Certificate
The Business Certificate is for non-business majors who want an overview of business concepts in order to enhance their future career success, but do not want to pursue a full 30-credit business minor. The goal of the certificate is to enable non-business students to learn how to apply fundamental concepts in economics, accounting, finance, management and marketing to solve basic business problems. It is not available to business majors or to students pursuing a business administration minor.
The Business Certificate consists of five required courses that introduce students to basic concepts in economics, business, accounting, finance, management and marketing, plus one elective.
