How will I get my books?
The required texts for the courses are listed online. The books are available at all major online venues such as Amazon, Cheap Textbooks and Barnes and Noble.
Will my studies/grades at your university be verifiable to employers and other universities?
Yes, the courses that you take will appear on any official Gonzaga transcript. However, please remember that they do not count for credit unless you are taking the Ethics Concentration as an MBA student.
Since it is done online, is there any particular schedule for registration? Are there timelines for completing the program?
There is no particular schedule for registration. Once you register for a single course or the entire Business Ethics Certificate, you have one year to complete it.
Typically, do students register for all of the courses at once or do they complete them one at a time?
The most cost-effective way is to register for all four of the Ethics Certificate course at once so you receive the discounted tuition rate of $895 per five units rather that $199 per one unit.
Could I get the certificate and get college credit as well?
You can do this if you are currently enrolled in the MBA program at Gonzaga University or at another university that is a member of JesuitNet.
