    Graduate Certificate Programs in Applied Finance

    Graduate certificates exist to provide working adults and university graduates with extra training without the full commitment of a degree program. If you have completed a bachelor's and want further training, look into a graduate certificate.

    What is a graduate certificate in applied finance? This kind of certificate focuses on the fundamentals of financial markets and their operation. Some courses can be theoretical in nature, but there are also often applied classes when you get the opportunity to tackle real-world problems. Some subjects that may be included are accounting standards, investment evaluation and an understanding of key financial institutions. Required for this are either a bachelor's outside the subject or a diploma in finance.

    Some skills you may learn during this certificate include mathematical intuition, communication and decision-making. With a head for numbers, you may have an easier time balancing your own finances. Communication is useful in social settings, and being able to make decisions can reduce day-to-day stress.

    To budget for your applied finance graduate certificate, it is important to know that each school's program may cost a different amount. Some costs include books, courses and general fees.

    A certificate in applied finance is useful for a variety of careers. As an applied degree, more jobs deal directly with financials, but there are also opportunities for research or work in academia. Some areas in business and finance that are accessible with this certificate include stocks, securities, foreign exchange and analysis. Some job titles you can look for include business analyst, investment banker, portfolio analyst, business relationship manager and stockbroker.
