No more than six credit hours may be shared between certificate and other degree programs, minors or other certificates.
A student pursuing an undergraduate certificate must be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at ASU. Undergraduate certificates are not awarded before the completion of an undergraduate degree. A student who already holds an undergraduate degree may pursue an undergraduate certificate as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.
Graduates who have combined the certificate in international trade with their major program of study may be more marketable to employers. Many decide to pursue employment in corporations, governments and nonprofits in positions such as global logistics manager, import and export agent, or international compliance manager.
This certificate opens a wealth of opportunities with organizations that operate in multiple countries across sectors and that need leaders who understand the increasing complexities of the global economy. Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
