    Executive Certificate in Digital Business - Jacqueline DiFilippo

     “A lot of my work is based on building digital strategies that are driven by cutting-edge technology, and that technology is changing so rapidly that I felt I needed a better way to stay up to speed on these advancements than simply absorbing snippets of educational content throughout my day. I was looking for something a little bit more formalized. This desire was coupled with the fact that I wanted to make sure I was future-proofing my career development as well.”

    FAQs

    Copy Link

    Below are answers to some frequently asked questions.

    The only requirements for the Executive Certificate are that you enroll in the track(s) you would like to pursue then apply for, are accepted to, and complete three courses within your chosen track and one additional "elective" program (from any of the three tracks) within a four-year period - must total a minimum of 8 EEUs. At least one of the courses must be attended in person or live online.


    The Executive Certificate is designed to meet your individual education needs. You attend four courses: three in your chosen track and one additional program, your "elective". The total cost to you would be the costs of the individual programs you attend. We also offer a Multiple Program Discount.

    We have implemented Executive Education Units (EEUs) as part of Executive Certificate and ACE requirements. Each course has been assigned a number of EEUs which count toward Certificate requirements and replace "Program Days" which did not accurately represent many online courses.

    In order to receive a program certificate of completion, you must attend the entire program. In addition, if you cannot attend the full course, you will not receive any Executive Certificate or ACE credit for the program. If you find that you cannot attend the full program for which you are registered, we advise to you defer your enrollment to the next session. Please see our Cancellation and Deferral policies for more information.
