The Franchise Management Certificate is a nine (9) credit hour certificate that focuses on the unique skills and knowledge necessary to succeed as a franchisee–including acquiring, running, and growing franchise operations.
The curriculum was designed in close partnership with industry experts. The six accelerated, highly focused, 1.5 credit hour courses are designed for individuals who plan to become franchisees, as well as existing single-site franchisees who want to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to grow their franchise business. Those working for franchisors will also benefit in understanding the franchising industry, allowing them to create even stronger relationships with their franchisees. The curriculum is 100% asynchronous, allowing students the flexibility to learn at the time best for them.
The Franchise Management certificate can be taken in conjunction with the MBA program. For students who are accepted into the MBA program, it will count towards fulfilling elective requirements in the MBA curriculum.
