Program Information
In our new economy, the responsibilities of administrative professionals have expanded to include supervising complex management functions such as data analysis, process and information control, strategic planning, and human resources development. To be successful and competitive in 21st century business environments, administrative professionals must become expert facilitators, communicators, resource managers, innovators, technologists, and problem solvers. This new Administrative Management Certificate program teaches many of these skills!
We have designed a distance learning program that will help accommodate the busy lives and schedules of professional adult students. The format of this new online certificate program is highly interactive and reinforces creative team-based learning concepts. There is a strong emphasis on studying current issues and concepts surrounding globalization, diversity, ethics, and the environment.
Local chapters of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) recommend this program, which includes many of the classes needed for certification for the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) rating exam.
