Commodities Certificate
Introduction
From the food we eat, to how we build our homes and cities and the energy that powers our lives, commodities underlie our global economy. Businesses around the world rely on professionals whom understand the critical relationships across, geopolitics and financial markets to drive success. The 100% online Commodities Certificate from the University of Colorado Denver Business School prepares you to build a successful career in the fast-paced world of commodities. Our program is designed for students who want to explore the commodity sector, learn from professors with deep-industry experience, and develop an in-demand set of practical business skills.
During your certificate program, you’ll complete three graduate-level courses, gaining valuable insights from industry experts at the J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities and acquire essential knowledge about a broad range of commodities, including agriculture, energy, minerals, and metals. Our program’s strong industry support means that each of our career-focused courses will prepare you to solve real-world business problems in the commodities sector.
Courses are offered in an online, 8-week format. We recommend that students begin with Foundations of Commodities, taught by commodity industry experts in the energy, mining and metals, and agriculture sectors. From there, students can select particular areas of focus within the field of commodities to complete their remaining 2 classes.
