Students are responsible for satisfying any prerequisite requirements for certificate courses. This may extend the number of courses required to complete the certificate program. Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of the required coursework, submission of the application for certificate, as well as a completed file, and payment of all tuition and fees. The certificate courses may be applied to the MBA or the MS degree programs if the student wishes to pursue either of those degrees and satisfies Graduate School of Management admission requirements.
