Part-time Study
Management
Program Overview
If you have a leadership or supervisory focus, you will be most interested in our management development program. This offering is specifically designed for new supervisors, emerging managers, and those seeking supervisory and management positions.
The program has two components—the management certificate and the management diploma. By successfully completing the management process sequence (0681-200, 201, 202), a 12-credit course in practical supervision, management, and communication skills, students may earn the management certificate. To receive a management diploma, students must complete 16 additional credits in one of three business/management concentrations.
This program delivers a broad foundation in applied general management with focused study in a specialized field. Both parts are also appropriate for individuals with degrees in the liberal arts, sciences or technologies that wish to acquire new professional skills and expand their career opportunities.
In the management diploma program, students focus on one of three specific areas of business and management that may be relevant to their careers (such as marketing). A management diploma is earned by completing 16-quarter credits in addition to, typically, a management certificate. However, the small business management certificate may also be taken as an alternative to the management process certificate.
Courses applied toward a management diploma also may be counted as professional courses in applied arts and science degree programs. Students must achieve a program GPA of at least 2.0 for certification. Call 585-475-2234 to learn more.
