Graduate certificates
An online graduate certificate in business offers an alternative path to a degree. Though it is not as in-depth as a full program, it can grant you faster access to a particular field or specialization. And your graduate coursework can often be applied to a master’s degree down the road.
Courses and bootcamps
Both options provide an expedited way help you stay competitive as business grows and evolves. You’ll learn new skills — plus refine existing ones — and emerge better prepared for wherever the future takes you.
Do you need a license to enter the field of business?
Business professionals typically do not need a license to work in the field, although some professions may also require licenses or certifications based on the type of products or services being offered. Certified public accountants (CPAs) and securities professionals, for example, must be licensed in order to find employment in their field.
Depending on the area of specialization you choose, there may be location- or industry-specific certifications that can give you a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
As the world’s learning company, we strive to provide personalized pathways and identify high-quality learning options that lead to the jobs of the future. Courses, degrees, and certifications are subject to change so we can ensure we’re providing the most relevant options available today.
