The Management and Program Analyst’s role is generally associated with a wide variety of analytical assignments. Graduate School USA’s curriculum provides a valuable analytical foundation for those working in a Program & Management Analysis role, as well as those interested in building core analytical skills.
Graduate School USA’s Certificate in Management and Program Analysis includes three levels of achievement. A certificate is awarded for the completion of each individual level. The first level will provide an introduction to management analysis and provide a foundation for working with data.
