Post M.B.A. Certificate Program
The Pamplin School of Business M.B.A. program has a wide range of elective coursework and offers rigorous courses in many specialized areas that provide a unique opportunity for training and scholarship to graduate students.
Students can update an older degree, gain additional training, and add a new specialty to their skills by completing the post M.B.A. certificate program.
Students complete a 12 credit hour program in one of the following areas: entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, operations and technology management, strategy or sustainability, and then receive a post M.B.A. certificate in that area. Alternatively, students who do not want to focus in one particular area may select courses from two or more fields. To be admitted to this program, students must hold an M.B.A. degree from an AACSB accredited institution, and submit the following application components: an application, $50 application fee, resume, official transcripts documenting graduate work, and a statement of goals. The courses to choose from are listed below.
