These certificate programs are designed to provide individuals, especially working adults, with an opportunity to engage in systematic and coordinated study directed towards an academic goal. Participants enrolled in the certificate programs will have an opportunity to study the basic principles of administration and management; to improve their analytical skills; to increase their awareness of the various factors contributing to effective decision-making; and to understand the basic functions of organizations.

The certificate programs will be of particular interest to those individuals who are engaged in administration, or who are contemplating a career in administration or management, and wish to expand their knowledge in the related subject areas.

The courses in the certificate programs are presented at the undergraduate level of study and provide a framework for theoretical analysis of general principles of administration through lectures, discussion and individual study. By combining accumulated work experience and formal classroom learning, participants will be able to relate theory and practice as part of their continuing development.

All courses for the certificates are degree-credited courses. Individuals who successfully complete certificate courses and who are subsequently admitted to a degree program normally will receive credit towards a degree for those courses acceptable for credit in the particular degree program. Individuals admitted to a BBA degree program will normally be able to apply certificate courses completed successfully to their degree program.

These programs are offered on the Saint John campus by the Faculty of Business.
