The TIM Certificate

Holders of MBA degrees from accredited universities are encouraged to pursue a Post-MBA Certificate in Technology and Innovation Management. Those holding other master's degrees are not eligible for admission due to lack of grounding in MBA core requirements.

Program Design:
A certificate-seeking student may make a reduced application (as compared to the comprehensive MBA application) seeking admittance to the post-MBA TIM certificate program. Required materials include:

• PLU graduate application
• $40 application fee
• Resume
• One letter of recommendation
• Official graduate transcript

The certificate requires successful completion of the following classes:

• BUSA 523 Managing Innovation (3)
• BUSA 555 Knowledge Management (3)
• BUSA 570 Technology Management (3))

  TIM Electives (these courses are offered on a rotating basis, to inquire about the offering of a specific elective course make an inquiry to: plumba@plu.edu): (3)

• BUSA 575 Electronic Business and Commerce (3)
• BUSA 577 Project Management (3)
• BUSA 578 Database Applications in Business (3)
• Approved BUSA 587, 588, 589 Special Topics (1-3) or Independent Study (1-3)

If a student has received a PLU MBA in the past five years, previous TIM academic course work is counted toward completion of the certificate requirements. A minimum of nine post-MBA credits is required.

If a student has received an MBA from another institution in the past five years, equivalent previous academic course work is considered toward completion of the certificate requirements. A minimum of ten post-MBA credits is required.

The post-MBA certificate in TIM is posted to the graduate academic transcript.
