Registration and Fees

Applicants must have at least three years of full-time professional work experience. If you have more than 10 years of professional experience, you may want to consider attending the Executive Development Program instead.

Please note that the Business Management Certificate Program cannot sponsor visas to attend.

• The program fee includes instruction, learning materials, parking on campus during in-person class days, and a Certificate of Completion from the University of Washington’s Michael G. Foster School of Business. 6.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) also available. See more information about CEUs. Please indicate your interest in receiving CEUs on your application.
• We reserve a limited number of seats at a 25% reduced tuition for non-profit organizations. Contact us at [email protected] for more information.
• Additional applications may be considered after the January 10, 2026 deadline, as space allows.
• Payment must be made by check, credit card, or submit a purchase order for later invoice.
• A $50 late fee applies to payments delayed by 3+ business days unless an extension is approved by Executive Education before the due date. Access to program materials will be suspended if payment is 5+ business days late. Reminder emails will be sent, but payments are due by each deadline regardless of reminders.
