Graduate Certificate in Educational Management
For students who wish to specialize in educational management without completing the entire MBA degree program, two certificate options* are available: Management of Educational Corporations/Corporate Training Divisions and Management of Public and Private K-12 Educational Systems. Those who have been admitted must inform the center dean of their intent to pursue a certificate and are eligible to receive their certificate upon:
- successfully completing coursework outlined for their certificate (see below)
- satisfying all course prerequisites through practical experience or related coursework
- achieving a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 in the courses indicated above
- resolving all financial obligations to the School
Graduate certificate requirements may be satisfied through a maximum of three semester-credit hours of transfer credit, course waivers or course exemptions. A course may be applied to one graduate certificate only.
MBA students interested in earning the graduate certificate may do so by completing the above requirements as part of their MBA coursework.
