The Certificate in Business provides the information, skills and resources needed to function effectively in a business setting. The course work addresses core competencies including accounting, marketing and management, as well as in-demand skills such as budgeting, business analysis, business process, procurement and operations management. Students are able to complete this certificate online, however, course availability may vary depending on the semester.
Business-related programs at WashU Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS) are not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) at WashU. Most courses are three units.
This program is offered either mostly or fully online. Students entering the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must enroll in a program full time. F-1 students are only permitted to enroll in one online course per semester and J-1 students may only enroll in non-credit online courses that do not count toward their degree program. CAPS cannot guarantee face-to-face enrollment options each semester of full time enrollment, therefore cannot issue an I-20 or DS 2019 to F-1 and J-1 students for this program. If you are an F-1 or J-1 student and wish to enroll in a CAPS program while here on a Visa, please contact our recruitment team to discuss your options for face-to-face program enrollment. F-1 and J-1 students should not enroll in online courses or programs without first consulting the university’s Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS).
