This certificate provides the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to both new and professionals and experienced managers who have learned “on the job” to perform their jobs effectively and advance in their careers. The certificate requires fifteen credits of graduate business coursework, and is available to students with an undergraduate degree in any discipline. Twelve of the fifteen credits are in required courses that develop core competencies common to all managerial positions. Students elect a fifth course to address their own individual functional areas of interest. All of the credits completed in the certificate would be fully transferrable to the MBA degree at Adelphi should a student decide to pursue an MBA.
