Graduate Certificates

Graduate Certificates are available in the following areas of concentration:

To accommodate the needs of working adults, the Graduate School of Management at Lewis University offers a full MBA program as well as graduate level certificate options.

Certificate options are designed for those who want to advance in certain specializations, but lack time for a complete MBA program; for those with bachelor’s degrees in non-business majors; and for those with graduate degrees who wish to develop expertise in different concentrations or to update their career skills.

The graduate certificates have been designed to provide individuals with the opportunity to gain both knowledge and skills in the fundamentals of specific business competencies. Consisting of five graduate-level courses, the certificate programs are designed to strengthen analytical and problem solving skills. Students can complete the certificates in one to two years.
