Educational Programs
Our Masters Certificate programs are comprised of an online orientation and four content-rich specialization courses. Students receive an official grade report at the end of each 8-week course and will earn a formal Masters Certificate upon successful completion of all four courses in the program.
Credits earned in our Masters Certificate programs can also be applied toward an MBA degree at either institution provided that students meet degree admission standards. Contact our admissions office for more information.
Entrepreneurship Curriculum
Today's entrepreneurial landscape is fertile and fast paced, within both large organizations and small start-up companies. The Masters Certificate in Entrepreneurship will allow you to explore the challenges and opportunities faced by such enterprises, including strategies for addressing technology, growth, and human resource issues.
Our Entrepreneurship program provides you with the skills to both launch a new business and function successfully in an established corporation that employs entrepreneurial management strategies. As you analyze business strategies and explore how to secure funding, you will also learn how to write business plans, develop marketing strategies, and examine potential markets ripe for an entrepreneurial enterprise. The courses offered in this program provide you with the opportunity to test theories, models, and strategies through a case-based study approach.

Project Management Curriculum
Designed by the authors of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) certification test, this program provides you access to the theories, skills, and practical knowledge needed to become a certified project manager. The Project Management Institute is the premier global professional association for project managers. Visit the PMI website for information on the organization and its credentialing options.
Upon completion of this four course program, students will receive a Masters Certificate in Project Management which fulfills the educational requirement for "Project Management Professional" (PMP®) certification. PMP certification also requires relevant work experience and a passing score on a PMI certification examination. You will master all of the relevant knowledge: project life cycles; planning for resources, costs, budgets, risks and staffing requirements; timelines; periodic evaluations; and strategic impacts.
Our courses are 8 weeks long and require approximately 17 hours of study per week. Students complete one module per week and while there are scheduled deliverables for each module, individuals can choose to participate online when its convenient for them. For an optimal experience we encourage two to three logins per week.
