Graduate and Postgraduate Certificate Programs
Graduate certificates package a focused set of graduate business courses into a standalone credential for professionals who want to add depth in a current field, broaden into an adjacent business discipline, or support a deliberate shift in professional direction.
Rowan offers two certificate routes. Certificates of Graduate Study (COGS) are for learners entering without a prior graduate degree; Certificates of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) are post-master’s credentials for professionals who already hold one. Where both are offered in the same discipline, the academic content is the same—the distinction is the learner’s entry point.
Learn More About Certificates of Graduate Study (COGS)
Build focused graduate-level expertise in a defined business discipline and earn a substantive credential that stands on its own. A COGS can deepen capability in a current field, add complementary business expertise, or support a professional shift.
Where certificate and degree curricula align, completed COGS coursework can also support later Rowan MBA, MS Finance, or MS Organizational Leadership study.
Learn More About Certificates of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS)
Add focused business expertise to graduate education you have already completed. CAGS are designed for professionals with a master’s degree who want to deepen expertise connected to current responsibilities, add a complementary business field as roles broaden, or support a deliberate shift in professional direction.
Where Rowan offers both a COGS and CAGS in the same discipline, the academic content is the same; the credential route reflects the learner’s entry point after prior graduate study.
