PGCert in Business Administration, Management and Operations

This graduate certificate is a 12-hour credential for professionals who want stronger business knowledge or a stepping stone to an MBA. Students pick four from the seven core MBA courses. Reaching a cumulative 3.2 average across those four courses removes the GMAT requirement for MBA applicants, and the coursework transfers into the MBA. The credential comes from an AACSB-accredited university and is managed by the MBA program director. Louisiana Tech University, based in Ruston, Louisiana, administers this offering through its Business college. Prospective students can ask for more information, arrange a campus visit, or start an application directly from the program page, and the curriculum link there lists the required courses. Applicants are encouraged to review the published curriculum, along with any listed concentrations or minors, before they apply.
