Taught by Dr. Marguerite Roza and a range of guest speakers, Georgetown University’s Certificate in Education Finance (CEF) is a first-of-its-kind program with an interdisciplinary, interactive, hands-on approach to learning and applying strategic finance strategy, leadership, policy, and administration. The program covers everything from resource allocation and productivity to financial tradeoffs and equity. We’re looking to equip participants at all levels of the education system with the practical skills needed to be both better consumers and users of education finance information. Cohort participants range from (but are not limited to) district and school leaders to analysts and graduate students to nonprofit leaders and policymakers. Our cohorts to date report that working with and learning from professionals across a wide swath of roles and perspectives in the education sector is invaluable in helping them effectively apply their newfound skills.

Designed for full-time working professionals, the 40-hour (4 CEU, 42.2 CPE or 30 PDC) certificate builds on a two-day residency with live, interactive virtual sessions roughly every two weeks following the residency. Scholarships may be available. For questions, contact Jordan Tollefson at [email protected].
