“My experience with Tulane’s Master Certificate track was exceptional. I found most of the material from all three modules immediately applicable with the advanced module being most significant. Additionally, this has given me the confidence to pursue a full MBA in the future. I’d definitely recommend this course for corporate management development.”
James Winburn

“I have just successfully completed Business Essentials II and I recently put the Tulane Master Certificate in Business Administration program on my resume. This helped me to secure a much better position, starting a new division for my company. I am doing all the marketing, advertising, planning, and organizing. Later on I will recruit, hire and train a sales team. The skills I developed in this online program are yielding immediate results. Thank you for all your help!”

“I have an 11-month-old little boy and is he busy! A few months ago when I thought about earning my master certificate while taking care of a baby, a husband and a home, I thought NOT. However, this online program is so well organized and easily accessible, it changed my mind. Now, a little more than four months into the program, I’m able to juggle everything. The program is comprehensive, so I can watch my lectures while watching the baby, and take my tests while he’s taking a nap. The streaming video lectures are all very interactive and so easy to understand. All the instructors answer my questions promptly. Now, I’m almost finished and I’m so grateful to Tulane University for designing this online program. I would recommend it to anyone.”

“Tulane’s master certificate program has added tremendous value to my career. As an enterprise software sales executive, I could immediately utilize the knowledge gained in each module. For example, the ability to fully understand, calculate and articulate IRR and NPV has proved to be invaluable in selling software to business executives. Also, I was recently promoted to Regional Sales Manager. I directly attribute this to the leadership skills that I learned in the online courses and put into practice. I highly recommend Tulane’s Freeman School of Business online master certificate programs.”

“Since finishing college in ’75, I have completed four additional programs and 175 more semester hours. Man, if only they had all delivered this quality of material in such an enjoyable package! Congratulations on producing a dynamite piece of adult education. Because of the practical value of the Tulane program, I will be encouraging my senior managers to take it as well. It not only delivers what it promises, it exceeds all expectations. Truly, the master certificate lives up to its name!”

“The master certificate program has really helped me understand the different functional areas of business and how they work together, which has helped me to work more effectively with my coworkers and superiors. The program gives you a renewed and expanded perspective and confidence level in regards to business management and gives you skills that you can apply immediately in your career. I’ve already been given two new assignments as a direct result of taking this course. I have also had many curious coworkers at all levels ask me about the program and I’ve recommended it highly to all of them. I really think the whole online learning experience was wonderful.”

Here’s what students have to say about their online educational experience with the University Alliance Online:
“Because I am not tied down to a classroom, I don’t have to say 'no' to any work assignments or family commitments. My son and home are in Vienna, Austria. My parents live in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. And, my work often involves projects in Africa. Wherever life takes me, I just pack up my studies and go. It's the ultimate in distance learning.”
L. Illichmann

“I really enjoy the opportunity to work at my own pace and schedule 'classwork' around family and career obligations. The quality of instruction is tremendous – I can honestly say that I have already benefited a great deal from all that I have learned.”

I am impressed with the level of commitment that the instructors convey and how each one has succeeded in communicating support and guidance.”

This was my first online course, and it was such a satisfying experience, I will be doing more.”
