Frequently Asked Questions – Certificate Program in Professional Sales


  • Do I have to be enrolled in Marketing or even be a Business Major to earn the Certificate?

    •     No. Any student enrolled in any major at WSU Vancouver can enroll in and complete the
       Certificate, provided they pass Mktg 360 with at least a 2.0 GPA. In fact, non-degree students
       can also earn the Certificate as a stand-alone qualification.



  • Do I have to take all of the Courses in the Certificate? Can I just take one (or a few) of them?

    •     While you would probably benefit most from completing the Program and earning the Certificate,
       you are free to take one or more of the courses in the sequence as you see fit, based on your
       interests and goals, etc.



  • When do I get the Certificate? At what point?

    •    The Certificate in Professional Sales will be awarded upon successful completion of Mktg 360
       as well as the four courses in the Certificate Sequence. This will usually coincide with the student's
       completion of studies at WSU Vancouver, but other arrangements will be made for students with
       unique situations and timing.



  • What is the fastest I can earn the Certificate?

    •    With the strong commitment that has been made by Business Programs at WSU Vancouver
       to offer the required courses very regularly, the Certificate can be earned very quickly.
       For example, for students who have already completed or are presently enrolled in Mktg 360,
       the needed courses can be completed and the Certificate earned by as early as December 2006.
