LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - The University of Louisiana at Lafayette will offer three new academic certificates this fall.

The Louisiana Board of Regents has approved two graduate certificates, in business administration and professional writing, and a post-baccalaureate certificate in accounting for the university.

The graduate certificate in business administration is a 15-credit hour offering that will be available online. It’s designed for students who have a bachelor’s degree in non-business areas.



The 12-hour professional writing program targets working professionals who want to advance their communications skills and is designed to teach advanced skills in writing, editing, document design, research, analysis and multimedia.

The accounting certificate is designed for those who have a degree in a discipline other than accounting and are seeking competency in the field.
