Graduate Certificate Programs
Studying for a graduate certificate affords the opportunity to focus on an area of interest without committing to earning a degree.
Credits from a certificate program, however, can often be transferred to a graduate degree program.
Financial Management
Globalization and advances in information technology are among the factors that have radically altered the financial world. In such a fast-moving and sometimes uncertain environment, smart financial managers need a sophisticated understanding of theory and practical tools. Students in this certificate program build a thorough foundation of knowledge that will help them thrive in the financial management field.
Leadership Development for Minority Managers
The Leadership Development Program of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School supports the advancement of promising minority leaders and managers by offering training in the latest management theories and applications. An intensive, cohort experience for early- to mid-career professionals and managers, LDP enhances leadership and career-management skills. In addition, the program potentially fulfills some requirements for master’s degree programs at the business school.
Investments
Mutual funds, trust departments, brokerage firms, and investment banks are always seeking well-trained financial managers. Today's fast-paced, technology-driven investment environment demands participants who know how to wield the latest financial tools. The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School’s Graduate Certificate in Investments offers a rigorous curriculum that applies modern investment theory to real-world situations.
Business of Medicine
The Business of Medicine Graduate Certificate Program gives physicians and other specialized post-baccalaureate clinicians the skills to succeed in today’s complex health care environment. By learning and then applying business tenets to the organization of medical care, graduates of the program can take a more active role in creating and maintaining emerging systems. Offered jointly by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Carey Business School, the program provides instruction in essential business skills (accounting, finance, leadership) needed in health care operations.
Business of Nursing
The Business of Nursing program is designed to address the financial and managed-care challenges that nurses routinely face, and to prepare them for important roles in the increasingly complex environment of integrated health services. This post-baccalaureate and post-master's option, a partnership between the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the Carey Business School, applies the theory and practice of sound business principles to the organization of care delivery.
Information Security Management
The devastating effects of security breaches are well known and increasingly common. The urgent need to address this problem has spurred the creation of a wide range of new technologies. But technology alone can’t protect networks and information; it must be integrated with well-designed policies, practices, processes, and training. The Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management focuses on developing these strengths in people who currently hold leadership posts or are headed in that direction.
Competitive Intelligence
Competitive intelligence is a systematic program for gathering, analyzing, and managing the external information that can affect an organization's operations. Basic areas in which CI professionals work include market planning, strategic planning, product planning, financial planning, information services, research and development, and counterintelligence. With the goal of efficiently and ethically enhancing organizational intelligence, program graduates will be able to apply the best techniques in decision making, knowledge management, and analysis.
