To succeed in this time of corporate digital transformation, professionals need a redefined set of skills that fully meet the moment. D’Amore-McKim’s Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is designed to prepare students to become strategic thinkers, managers, or leaders with the human-centered technology, data, and entrepreneurial skills needed for the future of work.

This program consists of four to six graduate-level courses (12–15 credits). Students can gain this specialized knowledge in one of four ways:

Part-time MBA Path

The Part-Time MBA path consists of six foundational courses (15 credits) from our Part-Time MBA curriculum. These master’s-level courses focus on finance and management, laying a foundation of business knowledge that students can draw on right away. Students will build a fundamental base of quantitative skills while forging a clear path toward their long-term goals.

Build Your Own Curriculum

There are no required courses in this completely customizable format. Students can select four or five classes from our extensive list of graduate business courses, personalizing their program to get exactly the content they need. Among our list of course offerings, students will find courses that are most relevant to business professionals in any market. Dive deep into a particular topic area, such as marketing, supply chain, or entrepreneurship, or take an eclectic mix of courses from across disciplines.

Accelerated Four-Month Curriculum

Our four-month certificate offers a full-time intensive period of learning and a quick path to a valuable credential. Students can select any courses that are available during the semester, from accounting and management to entrepreneurship and innovation.
