Step it up. Master late-breaking management trends and hone your capabilities with an MBA certification that delivers skills and best practices at the frontier of business.

Whether you earned your MBA 20 years ago or in the last 20 months, you couldn’t possibly fit everything you need to succeed in business into that single degree. New areas of management specialization emerge quickly—we promise to keep you at the cutting-edge of business.

Our five-course MBA certificate program options—accounting, finance, information management and business analytics, management, marketing, social change, or sustainability—are designed to give you deep expertise in a sought-after specialty. Advanced, hands-on training in one of these areas will distinguish you from the sea of standard MBA degree-holders and put you at the forefront of emerging best practices and technologies.

Flexibility to Balance Work and Life

Susie Brennan appreciates the wide variety of online and in-person course options that makes it easier being a part-time student in SOM.

At Clark, part-time students aren’t a separate entity within SOM. We take the same classes as full-time students, which allows us to learn from each other's experiences.
