Certificate code: CTSALE

The College of Business, through The Schey Sales Centre at Ohio University, sponsors the Sales Certificate program for students in any major who want to develop knowledge and skills in professional selling. Completion of the program, which is the equivalent of a minor, results in the Certificate being recognized officially on transcripts upon graduation. Several certificate courses satisfy both tier and College of Business requirements. Be advised that some courses require prerequisites.

For admission into The Sales Certificate program, submit the following to the Centre, Copeland 601: 1) a completed application form; 2) a copy of your most recent DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System) result indicating an overall GPA of at least 2.75; and 3) your resume demonstrating characteristics that support a successful sales career. In addition, you must have a panel interview with Sales Centre faculty and a current Sales Certificate Candidate. Application forms may be obtained from any college’s undergraduate office or by visiting http://www.thesalescentre.com/. Note that other cross-disciplinary courses that support the certificate curriculum may be substituted with the approval of the Executive Director of the Sales Centre.

Admission to this program is competitive and not guaranteed to all who meet the general admission criteria. Students with the highest probability of success will be admitted up to the enrollment ceiling. Members of groups historically under represented in business will receive special consideration.

Each quarter those accepted into the Sales Certificate program will have their progress tracked by DARS. An overall GPA of 2.5 in certificate courses is required. Students will need to consult the executive director of the Centre before the deadline for graduation to ensure that the certificate will be awarded.
