RU Online Certificate Program

The RU Online Certificate Program offers an opportunity for professional development in five focused areas of study. As you progress through the six course certificate program, you will gain insights and learn critical skills to manage, lead, and succeed.

• Finance Certificate
• Human Resources Certificate
• Leadership Certificate
• Marketing Certificate
• Operations Management Certificate

While the Certificate does not in and of itself culminate in a college degree, students choosing to continue coursework to earn a bachelor’s degree may apply the hours accumulated through the certificate program towards completion of the Bachelor of Science in Management Studies program. Students must earn at least a ‘C’ grade in each course within the 18 credit certificate program for successful completion.
