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.
Business Students Information
- Business students can discuss their interest in a certificate by scheduling an academic advising appointment with their advisor.
- A maximum of 3 credit hours can be counted between concentration requirements and certificate requirements.
- Business students may not earn a certificate and a concentration in the same area.
- Business certificates do not appear in degreeworks.

Non-Business Students Information
- Non-business students need to register when they begin the certificate to be able to access academic advising. By registering for the certificate, you are not committed to complete a certificate, but you will receive the most up to date information about courses and opportunities available to students.
- Registration forms will be accepted between the second week of classes and the withdrawal deadline. Any registration forms submitted outside of this time will be reviewed during the next submission window.
- We recommend all non-business majors who wish to pursue a certificate have a minimum of 2 - 3 semesters remaining to ensure enough time to complete the requirements.
