Why Choose the Small Business Management Certificate?
It is a “how to” certificate for individuals interested in starting a business. The four-course sequence will guide students through the process of developing a business plan, legal and government forms. Students will be instructed in small business accounting systems, and interpreting financial reports relative to developing business strategy. Students will implement a business accounting system using currently available small business software. Finally, students will be introduced to promotion and marketing strategies to grow the business.
