Last year, a record 300 students applied to this groundbreaking program from various disciplines like Business, Communications, Psychology, Medical Anthropology, Sociology, Political Science, Economics, International Studies, English and Marketing.

Successful Certificate holders take their skills to careers in fields of technology, consumer products, start-ups, distribution, media, finance, insurance, and real estate to name a few.
