Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is Regis University’s “mini-MBA,” designed for professionals who want to build core business competencies in a flexible, focused format. This five-course, 15-credit program provides practical knowledge in areas such as financial decision-making, data analytics, business strategy and ethical leadership — skills that are in high demand across industries. Whether you're looking to advance in your current career, explore new opportunities or strengthen your business acumen without pursuing a full MBA, this certificate delivers a strong, career-ready foundation.
Ideal for individuals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds — including health care, education and the arts — this program supports both immediate professional growth and long-term goals. Courses are drawn from Regis University’s MBA curriculum and are fully stackable, so students who later decide to pursue the MBA can carry their credits forward. Grounded in Jesuit values, the program emphasizes responsible leadership and ethical decision-making while offering the flexibility that working professionals need through online and evening class options.
