Business Management

The Business Management Certificate of Achievement is designed for students who are or will be working in a supervisory capacity. The coursework provides students with a broad foundation of information related to current supervisory issues, as well as the ability to practice with "hands-on" experiences. Students learn how to deal with employee issues in topics such as human resource management, mediation of conflict, and interviewing. Students learn to work with peers, through such classes as Effective Decision-Making, Managing Workgroups, and Managerial Leadership. Having completed the coursework, students are prepared for a range of issues dealing with managing people and building teams within an organization. Possible job titles include: Retail Store Manager, Restaurant Manager, and Manufacturing Supervisor.

In providing a roadmap for students, this certificate establishes a guide for students who wish to develop their skills as managers. In making use of existing courses, it allows students who have taken these courses in the past to apply their previous work to a certificate program that they can include in applications to management positions.
