Admission Requirements
The Helzberg Post-Graduate Certificate program is open to those who possess an MBA from a regionally accredited institution. Those with a speciality Master’s degree in a closely related business or management field may also be considered.
In order for an applicant to be accepted into the Helzberg Post-Graduate program they must meet the following requirements:
• Completed application (submitted online or paper copy)
• Current Resume (Please email to MBA@rockhurst.edu)
• Two professional references with complete contact information
• Official transcripts from all previously attended colleges and universities

Certificate Credit Hours
Credit hours earned during the pursuit of a graduate certificate may be applied toward elective credit hours (or in the case of an exact match, toward core hours) necessary to earn a graduate degree provided both are completed within six years following registration in the certificate program. In such case the degree would be awarded as a general degree with no concentration. Conversely, credit hours previously applied to a graduate program resulting in a degree are not eligible to fill the requirements of a graduate certificate.
Curriculum
The Helzberg Post-Graduate certificate requirements consist of a minimum of 12 credit hours of advanced graduate coursework in a specific discipline. Average completion time is 6 terms or 15 months. Upon completion, students will be awarded a certificate from Rockhurst University and the Helzberg School of Management.
