Management/Supervision/Project Management/ General Business

Hi there,

I am looking for non-credit certificates in one of the above areas. I have a background in linguistics and language education, and have a tendency to end up in customer service and management positions (instructional supervision, sales rep., team management). So I need some background in these more business-y aspects.

Money is a factor, but so is a good name. I'll appreciate your input!

SAPM (http://knowitright.com/content/sapm)

SAPM (stanford Advanced Management Program) by Stanford University offers a variety of courses that not only cover project management but also many other important aspects of management. I have taken few courses & found them prett good. Refer to http://knowitright.com/content/sapm for more information and for others who have done SAPM courses.

 

Thank you very much! These certificates certainly carry good names. However, I am looking for something more affordable. Like in the 1,000-2,000 dollar range. I like the programs like the Rutgers IMED certificates, the TAMU ones, or the Auburn MBA prerequisite certificate, but I'm entirely fine with lesser known schools.

 

Temple University-Fort Washington offers web-based non-credit certificates that might be of interest. Glancing over their website appears that some certificate offerings will meet within your areas of interest as well as your budget.

I know you requested non-credit certificate programs, but Hofstra University offers web-based (for-credit) certificates in several areas of business administration /management. Certificates require 6-courses at $450/course.

Good suggestions, keep 'em coming.

Tulane has some very cheap for-credit certs, too. They are from the School of Continuing Ed., not the School of Business, but they are just around $900 per course.
