Certificate in Business Management

Acadia University is pleased to partner with 14 Wing Greenwood to offer a Certificate in Business Management to local community members, military personnel, and DND civilian (Public and Non-Public) employees.

The Program:

The Certificate in Business Management is a 30 credit-hour program of courses from Acadia University's F.C. Manning School of Business. The program provides the foundational knowledge and management skills to help you succeed as a business professional or in the military. The program offers maximum flexibility allowing you to study on-site in Greenwood, online, or through a combination of both.

This program may be completed at a time and pace that works for you. A rotation of courses will be offered onsite in Greenwood in the fall, winter and spring semesters.
