Why Choose the Small Business Management Certificate?

It is a “how to” certificate for individuals interested in starting a business.

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.
