You have a hankering to undertake an important research project in the field of business, but you haven’t yet acquired the high level research techniques needed to move forward.
Or, perhaps you are a Masters graduate and are looking for an entry ticket into a research higher degree program.
USC offers this course to help you close those gaps and get a business research degree. In this Graduate Certificate, we deliver four courses, covering research concepts, design and methodology.
During the program, you work with USC academic staff to more fully develop proposed research topics.
It only takes four months to complete and by the end of the course you have a much clearer idea about your plans for higher degree research studies.
