The certificate of post-MBA studies is designed to allow master of business administration graduates to develop expertise and acquire a credential beyond the MBA degree. The certificate program offers post-MBA students the opportunity to:

Specialize in new areas of business
Update older information or degree
Acquire added skills and credentials to increase their career opportunities

The program allows a student, with guidance of the associate dean, to choose a customized program of six graduate business classes from the graduate courses offered through the Albers School of Business and Economics. Certificates are awarded in the following areas of specialization:

accounting
business valuation
economics
information systems
entrepreneurship
finance
international business
management
marketing

Course work for the certificate may be applied to other advanced graduate degrees.

Upon completion of the requirements of the program, students will have posted to their transcripts the entry, "Certificate of Post-MBA," or "Certificate of Post-MBA Studies in (insert discipline)" and be issued a certificate listing the discipline studied.

The program is open to graduates of MBA programs accredited by AACSB International or from recognized international MBA programs with prior approval by the dean. Application requires submission of completed application, current resume, and graduate transcripts. Seattle University MBA graduates generally will be considered eligible for the program.
