The Moakley Center, in collaboration with community partners, provides affordable advanced educational opportunities for Massachusetts’ public service managers. Solid reputation and increasing demand in the community have expanded the Moakley Center’s certificate program offerings dramatically since their inception in 1999. Over the last twelve years, more than 1200 Massachusetts public service managers have graduated from these programs.
Certificate program participants have the potential to earn up to 18 graduate credit waivers, depending on their specific program. Because of this benefit, many certificate graduates continue on to Suffolk Master of Public Administration or Master of Health Administration degrees.
The following Certificate Programs are currently open for enrollment. Please contact our community partner directly to request an application or to receive additional information.
