Graduate Certificate Foundation Courses
Candidates with undergraduate degrees from areas other than business or candidates whose graduate or undergraduate programs in business did not contain appropriate coursework may be required to take foundation courses before completing the certificate program. Such foundation courses must be completed with a GPA of 3.0 or better prior to beginning the certificate courses. Please reference the required Foundation courses for each listed certificate.
Any and all of the foundation courses may be waived if in the judgment of PCB&E the applicant has earned, within the past five years, university level credit covering the topics of the prerequisite course with a GPA of 3.0 or better or the equivalent.
Students completing a certificate program must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in their certificate coursework in order to earn the graduate PCB&E certificate. Certificate programs must be completed within three years of enrollment in the first course.
Foundation courses (if applicable) may vary by specific graduate certificate programs.
