Certificate in Technology Management & Leadership

If you currently work in or aspire to enter the dynamic tech sector, and are looking to earn an impactful credential in less time than a full degree, Tufts Gordon Institute's new Advanced Certificate in Technology Management & Leadership (CTML) can empower you with the skills and the growth mindset needed to manage technology and lead change.

Why earn a graduate certificate over a full Master's degree?

The CTML provides you with the same essential leadership skills as our MS in Technology Management & Leadership (MSTML) in a shorter and more accessible program of study. Depending on your tuition reimbursement options, schedule, and workload, the bite-sized CTML can be a way for you to earn a powerful leadership credential at a lower tuition cost and time commitment. Set yourself apart and take the next step in your leadership career with our highly flexible advanced graduate certificate.

Is an advanced graduate certificate right for you?

If you currently work or aspire to work in the tech sector and want to boost your technical skillset with the business and management skills needed to effectively lead teams and drive change, the TML certificate is a flexible and cost-effective alternative to the MSTML.
