This certificate program is intended primarily for individuals interested in learning more advanced concepts in finance after completion of an MBA or equivalent degree. Students apply through the Office of Graduate Programs.
Courses in the program have prerequisites which must be completed, if not already taken as part of the prior MBA or equivalent degree. At most one equivalent graduate-level course in which a grade of B (3.0) or better was earned may be transferred into the program.
The certificate may be earned in conjunction with a degree program or as a stand-alone credential. (Students pursuing a stand-alone credential are not eligible for federal financial aid and may not participate in Commencement.) After the student applies for graduation, the certificate is posted to the student’s official transcript and an official diploma stating the area of the certificate is issued.
