Career change, advancement, evolving job requirements, and competition require professionals to increase their capabilities throughout their careers. New York Tech's advanced certificate programs are intended for professionals with either M.B.A. or baccalaureate degrees who seek to gain specialization in new fields.

Certificate students have the same courses available as those available to M.B.A. students choosing that area of concentration. Each advanced certificate has its own unique curriculum and total number of credits. Specific details are given on each curriculum page.

Standards

Students are expected to perform at the same level as matriculated M.B.A. students, and must complete the approved sequence of courses with an average of B (3.0) or better to earn the advanced certificate.

Curriculum

The sequence of courses for each of the certificates will be decided by the student and their advisor to provide proper foundation and learning for the certificate subject matter. Substitution of alternative courses may be permitted, but only where the student has successfully completed an equivalent graduate course or for an equally significant reason and only with the approval of a faculty advisor.
