Online Business Management Certificate Program Curriculum
Yes, you will earn 4.5 continuing education units when you complete all 4 courses. We are certified by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training to award CEUs.
After you complete the last course in the certificate series, you must submit a written request to paula.varney@vanderbilt.edu in order to have the CEUs issued to you.
Participants complete the 4 courses in the certificate program in as little as 6 months.
We estimate that the total time you will spend on your courses is 56 hours. For estimated completion times for individual courses, please see our curriculum page.
Participants have 6 weeks to complete their individual course and may progress through the course as quickly (or as slowly) as they choose, as long as they finish prior to the cohort end date.
If you register for 2 or 3 individual courses at the same time, you will need to complete all courses by the end of the cohort date. This does not apply to those taking the full certificate, as certificate participants have 6 months to complete all 4 courses.
