Hone your business skills
If you already work in administration, or if you are thinking about a career in administration, the University of New Brunswick Saint John’s certificate programs in Business Administration will help you with your career.
Designed for part-time students, these programs will help you improve your analytical and decision-making skills while learning the basic principles of administration and management.
How do they work?
Our certificate programs offer undergraduate courses where lectures, discussions, and individual studies enable students to understand the theoretical framework behind general principles of administration. Drawing upon the new knowledge they learn in the classroom, as well as their previous work experience, students will more fully understand the dynamic relationship between theory and practice.
All courses for the certificates are degree-credit courses. This means that students who successfully complete certificate courses, and are then admitted to a degree program, can apply those courses to their BBA degree.
