SEER Certificate Overview

Seer-Full-Time

Our Certificate in Socially, Environmentally, and Ethically Responsible (SEER) Business Strategy is available to students enrolled in our Full-time, Part-time, and Online MBA and Online MSML programs. For MBA students, SEER certificate courses are taken as electives within the MBA curriculum. Students typically complete foundational MBA courses in their first year and begin the SEER program in their second year of study. For MSML students, the certificate courses are taken as required and elective courses. Upon completion, students receive a certificate along with their degree.
