A new program at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs will allow individuals easier access to courses designed to improve specific business skills.Offered through the College of Business and Administration, the campus business certificate program will allow individuals who hold a bachelor's degree to enroll in master's- level courses in areas ranging from general business administration to specific topics such as accounting, international business, operations, marketing, technology management and finance.Students will have the opportunity to take one class or to complete five courses to earn a certificate.

If a student decides to continue after earning a certificate, courses will count toward requirements for a master's degree in business administration.The spring semester begins Jan. 17.Previously, students interested in graduate business courses were required to be admitted to the graduate MBA program. Several steps, including submission of scores from a national standardized test, were required before enrollment. Now, by applying for the certificate program, a student can begin coursework almost immediately.For more information, contact Amy De Lourenco at 262- 3401.
