Certificate in Business
Description
Increase your knowledge of business concepts without enrolling in a traditional business degree program. With only five online courses to complete, this certificate is a great way to begin or continue your business education.
This certificate program concentrates on the functional areas of business. You have the flexibility to customize your learning through a choice of electives—focus on one particular subject area or select from different subject areas for a broader approach.
The Certificate in Business is offered through the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics and is available to both University of Guelph degree students and Open Learning program students.
