Graduate Certificates
from the College of Business and Leadership
The College of Business and Leadership at Fort Hays State University offers graduate certificates for students who wish to specialize in business areas without completing an entire Master in Business Administration program. These Graduate Certificates can increase your career mobility, can be earned quickly, and most can be completed either entirely online or on campus. Another advantage of our Graduate Certificates is they allow you to get a feel for graduate business courses while earning certification before pursuing your MBA in Leadership. Or you can earn your Graduate Certificate and immediately begin using your new-found skills to advance your career. Our Graduate Certificate programs are distinct because:
· The Graduate Certificate program utilizes the same highly qualified graduate faculty who teach in our MBA in Leadership program.
· Our tuition rates are competitively set below other Graduate Certificates.
· We offer a variety of Graduate Certificates to target the skills you’re seeking.
Our Graduate Certificates are non-degree credentials designed to provide students with specialized and less extensive knowledge than our Master of Business Administration program. These Graduate Certificates represent selected courses of academic accomplishment within the College of Business and Leadership that result in a professional certificate suitable for framing. All Graduate Certificates require nine student credit hours (i.e., three graduate courses) for completion.
Whether you are interested in learning more about basic concepts to enhance your career, preparing to move on and eventually complete our MBA in Leadership, or seeking to complete specific educational or certification requirements, you’ll find we offer a Graduate Certificate that will meet your needs.
The College of Business and Leadership at Fort Hays State University offers the following Graduate Certificate options:
· Graduate Certificate in Business
· Graduate Certificate in Organizational Leadership
· Graduate Certificate in Advanced Business
