Summer Business Essentials Certificate Program

The Business Essentials Certificate Program at Ramapo College of New Jersey offers an AACSB-accredited suite of courses addressing core business competencies, as well as professional seminars to develop relevant skills for today’s workplace. The program gives you a broad foundation in the business disciplines of ac-counting, marketing and management principles. Students can further customize their certificates by choosing to study business law, information technol-ogy, or corporate finance. All courses are college level and credit bearing and have been selected from the core curriculum of the Anisfield School of Business. These four courses are supplemented by two Personal Effectiveness Seminars chosen from an array of hands-on topics such as Time Manage-ment, Negotiating Skills, Conflict Resolution and Managing People.
