Professional Sales Certificate Overview

The Romain College of Business professional sales certificate integrates strategic and tactical aspects of sales as well as the specific skills you need to excel in sales management. Through 91社区鈥檚 program, you will develop your personal and digital communication skills, persuasion and leadership skills, and strategic thinking skills. Professional sales encompasses a broad range of activities linked to building and maintaining business relationships, as well as effectively managing and leading a sales team or organization. Our courses are offered both face-to-face and online to provide maximum flexibility. This certificate is also a great way to build your business acumen if you are pursuing a non-business major.听

The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, which is considered the "gold standard" for business accreditation. Only 5.7% of business schools, globally, have earned that accreditation. Achieving accreditation is a multi-year process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. Schools must develop and implement a plan to align with accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.听听

Please speak to an advisor to learn if courses you are taking for your major or minor can also count towards the 12 hours required for this certificate:

    • Marketing majors can potentially count 9 hours of their marketing degree program towards the Professional Sales Certificate. This means you may only need 3 additional hours, which could be taken as one of your elective courses, to earn this certificate.
    • If you are pursuing a business major or a marketing minor, up to 9 hours of the course credits you earn for the certificate may also count toward your major or minor degree program.

An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a certificate.听

The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor/certificate to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.听

A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
