The Augsburg MBA Business Certificate Programs target business and non-traditional professionals who have undergraduate degrees and are interested in continuing educational opportunities in data analytics, entrepreneurship, or finance. Some of our most successful students do not have undergraduate degrees in business!
The certificate programs offer an attractive option for individuals seeking to develop their business skills without committing to a full degree. A certificate is awarded upon completion of four Augsburg MBA courses, which are part of the MBA curriculum and may be applied toward degree requirements.
Students in a certificate program take courses alongside matriculated MBA students, enriching the learning experience through discussions, case studies, and simulations. These interactions foster deeper engagement, experiential learning, and critical thinking. Students are also eligible to attend the Innovator Speaker Series and may have the opportunity to participate in the Entrepreneurial Cup program.
The three certificate programs and their courses are:
Business Analytics

- MBA 571 Data Analytics
- MBA 572 Data Programming
- MBA 573 Predictive Analytics
