Course description

High performers are often promoted to management positions given their specific skills related to their areas of expertise. However, they may not be fully prepared for the complex spectrum of management responsibilities, which includes managing people, motivating teams, managing budgets, and creating and executing strategy.
In today’s competitive landscape, every organization needs managers with diverse skill sets to effectively move business forward. In this Business Management Certificate program, students will gain a deeper understanding of the roles of a manager while building and honing their management skills in five essential areas: finance, strategy, communication, innovation, and leadership.
