Customized Programs
The Center for Professional Studies is able to design customized certificate programs for your organization. Drawing on Drake University's considerable expertise, we will collaborate with you to design and deliver a coordinated and academically based curriculum applicable in the real-world. This curriculum builds on the specific knowledge and competencies necessary to meet the needs and challenges that will enable your organization to adapt to the ever changing business environment and discover new opportunities for growth.
A typical program meets two days per month (for up to a year) on-site or at the Drake campus and is designed to take thirty professionals through a program of customized study. This is a flexible format and can be adjusted to best meet your organization's needs.
In some cases a certificate program can be designed to provide a jumpstart into a College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) graduate program.
Programs currently have been customized for organizations in the private, public and nonprofit sectors.
