PGCert in Finance and Financial Management Services

This graduate certificate in finance consists of five courses and is open to anyone with an undergraduate degree, whatever the field. It is aimed at working professionals who want to understand finance better for management roles. Participants learn to use financial information when making business decisions, speak confidently with finance managers and leaders, and develop skills employers value. The certificate stands alone, though some background in accounting and quantitative methods is helpful; applicants without introductory courses in those areas need to complete prerequisites. Credits can be applied toward the Oakland University MBA. Admission requires a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants submit an online application, a resume and official transcripts, and international students without a U.S. degree add a transcript evaluation and English test scores. Graduate Business Programs handles inquiries.
