Certificate Benefits

Beyond the valuable leading-edge training offered by individual courses, a 10-course certificate in Supervisory or Human Resources Management provides evidence to employers of successful completion of a top-quality educational program, and indicates a level of professional achievement in one’s field. Certificates are earned only by those who demonstrate commitment to a long-term program of study and mastery of the most up-to-date information available to professionals working in supervisory and human resources management or related fields.

Certificates are awarded after successful completion of five core courses in Supervisory or Human Resources Management, along with five elective courses. Core courses are offered twice each year. To earn two Management Certificates, complete the five required core courses for two Management Certificate programs in addition to the necessary electives for a total of 15 courses.

More Elective Choices

In addition to the five required core courses for each program, participants may choose from dozens of electives offered by Extended Studies each year, or may apply core courses from another Extended Studies custom management certificate as electives to their chosen 10-course management certificate. Core courses may only be applied to one certificate program.
