Cert in Business Administration, Management and Operations

This credential is one piece of the Business AAAS and works as a stepping stone toward that associate degree. It teaches both traditional and agile approaches to managing projects. Fifteen credits are offered online and on campus, with starts in fall, winter and spring. Project managers are accountable for reaching project goals, which includes setting objectives, defining requirements and balancing cost, time and scope. Such roles appear in construction, engineering, architecture, manufacturing, real estate, technology and pharmaceutical settings. The certificate is a practical choice for people who want a recognized workplace skill without committing to a full degree, and its courses count toward further study later. Extra program fees apply depending on the courses selected, and financial aid information is linked from the program page.
