Post-Master's Certificate in Business Fundamentals
The Post-Master's Certificate in Business Fundamentals is targeted towards current doctoral students at the University of Alberta. The certificate is intended to complement your doctoral studies and provide you with a tool-kit of core business foundations.
The certificate program is designed for doctoral students at the University of Alberta to provide students with a toolkit of core business foundations. The certificate program would be of potential interest to those students for whom knowledge of business foundations would supplement their thesis research, for those working or supervising others in a lab, as well as doctoral students writing grant proposals. The certificate program would provide students with knowledge that could bridge the gap between highly specialized training and career opportunities that require business knowledge.
All courses are delivered in person on the University of Alberta campus. You would be completing the certificate courses as they are offered as part of the MBA program. Post-Master's Certificate students would typically take classes during the evening. Certificate students would integrate with MBA students to provide a dynamic, interactive environment which would blend theory with hands-on participation and solution-driven application. The exchange of scientific and technical knowledge with business fundamentals and applications would be of significant benefit for doctoral students and MBA students alike.
Students would be able to begin the certificate program in either Fall or Winter term. You are required to complete four courses, the exact length of time to complete the certificate will vary based on course-load. We anticipate most students will complete one course each term (Fall and Winter) and complete the certificate in two-years. Once accepted into the certificate program, students would work with our Academic Services team to plan their schedule.
Course tuition for the certificate program is in line with existing MBA student tuition.
The certificate is intended for current doctoral students at the University of Alberta. There is no specific discipline or area of study required for students to enter the certificate. You will need to apply to the certificate program through the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research. As part of the online application, you will need to upload copies of your current and previous transcripts.
You will need to apply directly through the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies online application system.
