Program Information

Studies in industry, requests from students, and personal inquiry have led the Business Department to offer several new short certificates. Several of the certificate courses can be applied as electives toward the AA degree, and this can be motivating for students to take those additional steps to earn their degree.

Several industry sources have indicated that students completing a certificate program in Business can earn more money and are considered for promotion. The Business Department is excited to offer these programs to help students achieve recognition.

All students must maintain an overall 2.0 average in each certificate attempted.
