Strategic Innovation, Certificate
To obtain this graduate certificate, students must complete the three required courses and one elective with a GPA of 3.0 or better in each course. All students pursuing the certificate must apply for and be admitted to the certificate program. Note that this admissions process is separate from degree program admissions. There are three distinct channels through which this certificate can be delivered:
1. As an option for all DMSB graduate students. The certificate would appear on the graduate transcript of these students. Requirements for admission to the certificate program for these students are the same as those for the student’s respective DMSB graduate program. These students must apply for the certificate prior to completing 24 hours of coursework in their graduate program.
2. As an option for all graduate students outside of DMSB. The certificate would appear on the graduate transcript of these students. Requirements for admission to the certificate program for these students are similar to those for the DMSB PMBA program. These students must apply for the certificate prior to completing 24 hours of coursework in their graduate program. Students can use the credits obtained from the certificate for a future DMSB graduate degree program, provided all courses used to earn the certificate are no older than 6 years at the time of graduation if applying for a master’s degree or no older than 10 years at the time of graduation if applying for a doctoral degree.
3. As a standalone (non-degree) option, for which students pay a per-course fee to enroll in certificate coursework. Requirements for admission to the certificate program for these students are similar to those for the DMSB PMBA program. Students can use the credits obtained from the certificate for a future DMSB graduate degree program, provided all courses used to earn the certificate are no older than 6 years at the time of graduation if applying for a master’s degree or no older than 10 years at the time of graduation if applying for a doctoral degree.
