Certificate Management

The Certificate in Management is a 30-unit program from the University of Ottawa's business faculty, offered in English and French, providing students with general management skills for organizational decision-making. It balances practical, applied coursework with analytical approaches to management problems, and places particular emphasis on creativity and innovation, covering how new ideas for improvement are generated, evaluated, and implemented within organizations. Coursework spans core management topics such as planning, organizational behaviour, and decision-making processes, giving students tools that apply across private, public, and not-for-profit settings. The program suits students and working professionals who already have relevant experience and want grounding in core management concepts without enrolling in a full business degree, and the certificate can stand alone or complement study in another discipline.
