Cert in Business Administration, Management and Operations

This certificate prepares students to pursue management positions in an organization. Those roles involve shaping and carrying out policy, handling employee relations, planning for the long term and supervising work across different levels of a company. Courses take an interdisciplinary view. Students look at market trends along with diversity at work, leadership, managing time and interpersonal skills. Teamwork and a global outlook run through the whole sequence, and students work with classmates on presentations about topics such as how consumers act, global business, people as an asset and company culture. The core covers financial accounting, entrepreneurship, business math, law, introductory business, management, communication and human resources, with electives chosen from approved lists. Graduates are expected to write effectively, apply management concepts, use business technology, act ethically and collaborate in groups. The plan of study fits the 32 units into two years, and each course needs a mark of C or higher, or a pass.
