Certificate Programs
Our certificate programs are designed primarily for non-business, part-time and mature students interested in pursuing specialized studies in business.
- Accounting: the accounting certificate provides foundation courses for various professional designations; for example: CA, CGA, and CMA. It is a credit program comprised of 10 three-semester-hour courses: six required courses and four elective courses. The courses are generally offered during the normal academic year, but some may be offered during summer school.
- Business: the objective of this certificate program is to provide students with a sampling of courses in the areas of business. For those students interested, the certificate program also provides many of the foundation courses required to enter the BBA degree program.
- Entrepreneurship: Students in any discipline now have the opportunity to develop a strong breadth of knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship and small business through a concentration in Entrepreneurship. Students are required to take a package of courses that offer a variety of pedagogy such as case studies, lectures, hands-on projects, simulations, speakers, and presentations. A Certificate in Entrepreneurship is available to non-business students, while business students can complete a Specialization in Entrepreneurship.
We also offer a Minor in Business which is designed for full-time UPEI students in other disciplines.
