The Scheller College of Business certificates are open to all undergraduate degree-seeking students at Georgia Tech. Certificates provide advanced coursework and a deeper understanding and knowledge of a specific business area. By adding a certificate, students can enhance their skillset and improve their marketability in the business world.
