The Business Certificate is designed for students with limited work experience who are interested in a career in business.

It provides an introductory knowledge of business concepts upon which students can add more specialized and advanced concepts. Many courses are available online.

A minimum of 30 credits or one-third of the required credits, whichever is less, must be earned at Edmonds Community College.
