If you're thinking of pursuing the next step in your business education, there's no better place to do that than Northeastern. A master's degree from Northeastern distinguishes you as an innovative thinker and problem-solver who is uniquely prepared for the challenges of today's global business world.

And your Graduate Certificate in Investments from Northeastern can give you a head start on that degree. Once you've completed your certificate with at least a 3.0 GPA, you may be able to apply your credits to an eligible master's degree program at Northeastern for up to three years following completion of your certificate. This includes an MBA program at D'Amore-McKim like our Part-Time MBA, or an applicable master's program at the College of Professional Studies. (Note that completion of your graduate certificate doesn't guarantee acceptance into a master's degree program.)

Having never taken a business course prior to entering the Graduate Certificate in Business Administration program, it was the perfect way to get my feet wet. It didn't take me long to realize that earning my certificate would only be the beginning of my business career.
