Certificate of Graduate Study in Finance
The Finance Certificate of Graduate Study (COGS) offers students the opportunity to pursue quantitative and analytical concepts and tools that are valuable in corporate, non-profit, and personal finance settings. The Finance COGS is a valuable stand-alone credential for those seeking to refresh skills in their current finance-related roles. The Finance COGS program can also serve as a micro-credential on the way toward earning a graduate degree, allowing students to sample content prior to being formally admitted into Rowan’s Master of Finance (MSF) or Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a Finance Area of Concentration.
The Finance COGS is also ideal for those who have not yet taken the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) as GMAT scores are not a requirement for admission to the COGS program. Students who wish to later pursue the MS Finance or MBA programs at Rowan may have all COGS credits transferred into one of these degree programs.
