Post-baccalaureate Business Certificates

Post-baccalaureate Business Certificate

The Pamplin School of Business offers a Post-baccalaureate Business Certificate program for students who would like to utilize an interesting variety of courses in many specialized areas. Our faculty created a curriculum that provides a unique opportunity for post-baccalaureate students to choose a concentration, gain additional training, and develop new competencies by completing the Post-baccalaureate Business Certificate program.

Students complete a twelve-credit hour program in one of the following areas: entrepreneurship, finance, strategy, marketing, operations and technology management, sustainability, or business analytics, and then receive a post-baccalaureate certificate in that area. Students may also create a general program where they survey courses from different business disciplines.
