Graduate Certificate in Management (On hold)

Plan Description

The Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) will be comprised of graduate classes currently offered through the MBA curriculum. The Graduate Certificate is designed for those students wishing to gain knowledge or update their knowledge in the specific area of Management. The Graduate Certificate is not a degree program and completion of this program indicates an expertise in a narrower specialty, not general expertise in all areas of business. Moreover, while a concentration in New Venture Management exists in the MBA, a concentration in General Management does not.

Plan Admission Requirements

Admission requirements include an undergraduate degree with a GPA of 3.00 or higher, and either relevant work experience or a GMAT of 550 or higher. Relevant work experience is a minimum of 3 years’ experience in a relevant management-related position. The determination of what is considered relevant work experience will be made by the Coordinator of Non Degree Programs for the College of Business.

If desired, upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Management, students may apply for admittance into the UNLV MBA. General admission requirements for the UNLV Evening MBA Program include: an undergraduate degree with a GPA of 3.00 or higher and a Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score of 550 or higher.

All domestic and international applicants must review and follow the Graduate College Admission and Registration Requirements.
