Graduate academic certificates

The College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism offers graduate academic certificates in hospitality management, merchandising, and event and tourism management. The purpose of these 12-hour graduate certificates is to offer professionals in hospitality, merchandising and retail industries the opportunity to build skills and knowledge in critical analysis and subject content. See the Admission  section of this catalog for admission requirements.
