Steps to Secure the Certificate
The courses for the certificate may be completed in any order, but we recommend the following sequencing.
- Complete TMP X111/X101
- Note: the cost of the certificate ($1,250) is paid when you register for and enroll in TMP X101 through PaCE. Please register here.
- Enrollment in or completion of TMP X101 gives students priority for admission to other TMP courses during the add/drop period.
- Complete either TMP 120: Strategy or TMP 122: Entrepreneurship
- Complete three electives
- If you took one of your electives from the list of approved non-TMP courses, please fill out the linked Google Form.
Once you have completed all of the above steps, you just need to complete a certificate release form with PaCE, which gives them permission to issue you your certificate. Please note that if you do not complete this form, PaCE cannot issue your certificate.
