U of A Relevant Courses
U of A Continuing Education offers all four mandatory courses as well as six (6) out of the nine (9) optional courses required to fulfill the academic requirements of the Chartered Management Program (CMP)/Certified in Management (CIM) designation.
Since all of these courses are components of Continuing Education’s Management Development Certificate, students who complete the eight CIM courses can obtain a credential from the University of Alberta while working toward their CIM professional designation.
If a student takes these individual, approved U of A courses, the courses can be counted towards the CIM designation, even if they do not complete the entire Management Development Certificate.
