Cert in Business Administration, Management and Operations

The Business Management Certificate introduces students to how organizations are managed and how resources are coordinated to reach company goals. Coursework spans management, marketing, how people behave in organizations, and information systems, with additional business communication and customer service content. The curriculum is arranged over two years of fall and spring semesters and totals at least 37 credit hours. Students should expect to cover supplies and tools for some classes on their own. The certificate aims at supervisory positions in small and medium-sized businesses. Graduates typically start in lower management roles such as retail, sales, office or restaurant management. The Business Management Certificate is offered by John A. Logan College as a Certificate of Achievement. Applicants can start through the college's online application, and the college directs students to its tuition and fees page for cost estimates.
