Certificate in Liberal Arts and Management
The Certificate in Liberal Arts and Management is an honors-level, interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business. It combines any major with specialized training in business and management to prepare strong students with wide interests for exciting futures. Selected on a competitive basis, students generally enter the three-year LAMP Certificate program as sophomores. In addition to their school's requirements for a B.A. or B.S. degree, students take courses in management, business law, and computer applications at Kelley and economics courses in the College. Their interdisciplinary studies are further integrated and enhanced by LAMP seminars.
