Optional Certificates

 *These certificate options are available online.

All other certificates are available only through campus-based classes.  Online students are welcome to take a campus-based class at any time if their geographic location enables them to attend.



Students are not required to pursue one of the concentrations.  There are two paths or choices that MBA students can pursue with electives in the MBA program.  Most students choose to take three general MBA business electives from the elective classes that are offered within the College of Business.  One of these electives must be quantitative which includes ACCT 6301 (the only ACCT elective for MBAs) or any elective class from FINA, MIS or OMGT.  One of these electives must be qualitative which includes any elective class from MKTG or MGMT.  The third elective can be chosen from any of these disciplines.

Approximately 20% of graduate business students choose to obtain an optional certificate.  These certificates are designed to give the student an insight into the issues that are specific to that industry.


Most certificates requires four or five classes from colleges or departments outside the College of Business.  The Finance, MIS, PIMO, and Supply Chain Management certificates are from within the College of Business.  A certificate is awarded from the respective college or department in conjunction with the MBA degree and successful completion of the certificate is reflected on the student's transcript.  Normally, certificate classes are taken in place of the three required breadth electives, effectively adding one or two additional classes to a student's curriculum. 

These certificates are only available to ECU MBA students, students who are enrolled in another AACSB accredited institution or students who have already received their MBA from an AACSB accredited institution.

The course rotations listed cannot be guaranteed and should be used as a guide only.
