Post M.B.A. Certificate Program

The Pamplin School of Business M.B.A. program has a wide array of elective coursework and offers rigorous courses in many specialized areas that provide a unique opportunity for training and scholarship to graduate students.

Students can update an older degree, gain additional training, and add a new specialty to their skills by completing the post M.B.A. certificate program.

Students complete a 12 credit hour program in one of the following areas: entrepreneurship, finance, health care management, marketing, operations and technology management, or sustainability, and then receive a post M.B.A. certificate in that area. To be admitted to this program, students must hold an M.B.A. degree from an AACSB accredited institution, and submit the following application components: an application, $50 application fee, official transcripts documenting graduate work, and a statement of goals. The courses to choose from are listed below.
