The purpose of the 12 credit-hour Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Business Foundations is to provide professionals who have a bachelor’s degree in a non-business field the opportunity to acquire education in business administration without committing to the lengthier M.B.A. program. The certificate is offered on campus and online.

For information regarding deadlines and requirements for admission, please see https://grs.uncg.edu/programs/.

In addition to the application materials required by the Graduate School, applicants must submit an admission essay, answering specific prompts, an introductory video and relevant reasons for pursuing the certificate. An interview may be required.

Qualified applicants will have relevant managerial experience indicating increasing levels of managerial responsibilities.

Current students in the M.B.A., M.S. in Accounting, or M.S. in Information Technology and Management programs will not be eligible for the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.

Course work taken as part of the certificate program may be applied towards the M.B.A. degree in accordance with the policies of The Graduate School.
