Post-Doctoral Bridge to Management Certificate

The Post-Doctoral Bridge to Management Certificate program is designed to provide students who hold a doctoral degree in management or a non-management field with core knowledge in a management discipline outside their previous doctoral studies. Students explore such topics as ethical leadership, information systems management, financial decision making, and performance improvement implementation. This certificate program emphasizes management aspects in a global context and explores relevant trends students can apply in settings that include postsecondary education, research, and consulting.

With the exception of MGMT 8000, any courses used toward the completion of a doctoral program cannot be applied toward the completion of the post-doctoral bridge certificate.
