Business Certificates

Students in good standing in the School of Law may choose to take up to three 600-level graduate courses in the Stetson-Hatcher School of Business without applying for admission to the MBA Program. Two specific combinations of courses can be taken for either a Certificate in Practice Management or a Certificate in Corporate Finance.

Students who receive one of these certificates will have their law school graduation requirements reduced by nine credits. Students must complete all courses required for a certificate; otherwise, the Law School graduation requirements will not be reduced. To enroll in a certificate program, students must receive approval from the Law School Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Upon approval, the student should contact the Registrar’s Office at 478-301-2620.

For more information regarding the Business Certificates, please contact the Law School Admissions Office at 478-301-2605 or the School of Business at 478-301-2835.
