Drucker management certificates provide you with focused study in valuable topics such as analysis, strategy, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
Designed for working professionals, certificates provide a low-commitment way to discover the value of an AACSB-accredited, graduate management education at the Drucker School. You can explore a new subject, expand your knowledge on a specific subject, or start your work toward getting an MBA. These programs offer a flexible path in which multiple certificates might later lead to a “stackable” Drucker MBA.
Program Highlights
Earn certificates in four key business areas: analysis & decision-making, entrepreneurship, marketing, and people & strategy.
Complete a certificate in as few as two semesters, or take your time to balance your other commitments or maximize your employer contributions.
Apply the courses in your certificate program toward the Drucker MBA program.
