Program overview
The management development program has two components, the management certificate and the management diploma. The program is structured to first provide a broad foundation in applied general management and then tailor that foundation with focused study in a specialized field.
Students may take one or both parts of the program, and both may be completed in one academic year. Credits earned in the program can be applied to various degree programs. Students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 in order to be certified for completion/graduation.
Curriculum
Students in the management diploma program concentrate their studies in one of three areas: general management, marketing, human resource administration. The diploma is earned by completing 16 quarter credit hours in addition to the management certificate.
Courses applied toward a management diploma also may be counted as professional courses in appropriate degree programs. Students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 in order to be certified for completion/graduation.
