Certificate Students

A certificate student is a student seeking to complete the four courses comprising a concentration in one (or more) of the following:

  • Accounting
  • Data Analytics
  • Digital Marketing
  • General Business
  • Health Care Administration
  • Supply Chain Management

In order to be admitted into the certificate program students must meet the requirements (and follow the same process) for full admission into the M.B.A. program. Certificate students however are not eligible to receive financial aid. Certificate students must earn a grade of C or higher in each concentration course in order to receive a certificate of completion.

At any time after admission into the certificate program, a student may choose to pursue an M.B.A. degree by advising the Dean, Associate Dean, or the MBA Director of the SOBAPP. Any student pursuing an M.B.A. degree is subject to the Minimum Academic Standards of the program. In the event a certificate student decides to pursue an M.B.A. degree, he/she will be given:

  1. General elective credit if their concentration has been discontinued, or
  2. Concentration credit if their concentration is part of an existing M.B.A. program.

M.B.A. degree seeking students do not receive a certificate upon program completion.
