The certificate is composed of 10 courses that will provide a solid foundation of business knowledge for students to pursue their desired academic and professional endeavors.
Course recommendations are made for elective options based on a student’s area of interest or intended major for a future credential. If students wish to pursue the Finance Diploma, it is recommended to enter directly into that program in order to optimize course sequencing.
Students are strongly recommended to consult program planning materials, and complete certain courses in the recommended terms, to graduate on schedule. These courses vary, depending on the chosen major.
