The online certificate in management is designed for working professionals currently in supervisory roles looking to enhance their management skills.

A certificate in management from SEMO gives you the knowledge to improve your skills and the credentials to get a competitive advantage in about a year.

The online management certificate is designed to support working supervisors and managers who lack formal management training. You can gain critical business skills quickly with seven start times per year. This certificate allows you to build the foundation for your future because it is stackable toward SEMO’s Business Administration bachelor’s degree.

This management certificate is taught by faculty in SEMO’s AACSB-accredited Harrison College of Business and Computing, a distinction that puts it among the world's top five percent of business programs. Courses are taught by the same industry professionals who teach on campus. This certificate is eligible for financial aid, giving you an affordable option to gain the skills and network to advance your career.

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)

We think you should get credit for the real-world experience you have earned. SEMO offers a variety of opportunities for PLA. This accelerates your degree completion and cuts costs. In addition to traditional credit by examination or military-related credit, our academic departments and programs provide opportunities to earn credits based on your existing experience.

Investing in a college degree is significant, yet important. The complexities of financing your education shouldn't hinder your pursuit of it.
