To remain competitive, a successful enterprise—commercial or nonprofit—requires leadership that is highly skilled in the functional areas of business administration such as financial management, human resource management, and marketing. Designed for emerging leaders and business entrepreneurs, SCS courses and programs provide the opportunity to build a personalized development program focusing on the specific skills needed to advance your organization. The School of Continuing Studies (SCS) offers credit and noncredit Professional Development Programs (PDPs) with a strong emphasis on best practices and practical applications to prepare students for the management and organizational challenges faced by business and nonprofits.
