Graduate Certificates

The Pompea College of Business offers graduate certificates designed as options for persons having a bachelor's, or master's degree who want to enroll in a part-time, short, coherent course of study at the graduate level. Persons who may not be ready to commit to a full-length graduate program, as well as those who already hold a graduate degree but want to pursue additional work in the same or another field, may find that a certificate provides the perfect alternative.

Students applying to the graduate school to enter a certificate program must complete the graduate school application form, submit official transcripts showing completion of the undergraduate/baccalaureate degree and two letters of recommendation.
