Post-Masters Advanced Business Certificate
12.0 credits

The Post Masters Advanced Business Certificate (ABC) program is available to applicants possessing an earned master’s degree or doctoral degree from a fully accredited university or college. The program is designed to permit qualified candidates the opportunity to update their skills in a professional field of specialization in which they have had previous academic experience, or to acquire competence in a new business discipline.

The Advanced Business Certificate requires completion of a four-course sequence and may include the following specialization areas:

• entrepreneurship
• finance
• leadership
• marketing
• or a customized certificate option

Upon acceptance to the ABC program, students will meet with an advisor to review program/course prerequisites (if applicable), select courses, and finalize the certificate programs options. Sample course sequences in the specialization areas are listed below. Those interested in pursuing a cross disciplinary Customized Certificate Option will work with an advisor to develop an individual “plan of study” to establish course sequence and completion timeline before commencing studies.

The ABC program is administered through the Corporate and Executive Education Center at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business. Participants in this part-time certificate program have a three-year timeframe within which to complete the certificate requirements. ABC students are enrolled in courses in Professional MBA sections (pending availability). No additional sections are created for this certificate program.

The ABC program does not lead to a degree, and the credits earned in the program are not applicable to any current or future degree program offered by Drexel University, unless all applicable entrance criteria for the anticipated program are met.

Requirements
Students must complete a four-course series. Upon completion of individual courses or the entire program, Continuing Education Units (CEU) credits and/or Continuing Professional Educational (CPE) credits may be applicable.
