Public Procurement Graduate Certificate
Public Procurement Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Public Procurement is a four-course sequence intended for professionals working in the public and private sector whose duties include procurement and contract management and who seek to improve their knowledge and competencies in this vital area.
This includes individuals working in public and private organizations who are participants and stakeholders in procurement and contract management by public sector organizations.
The online certificate program admits students each fall and is structured such that working professionals can take the four required evening courses over the course of one calendar year.
