CAPELLA EDUCATION COMPANY 
By MINNEAPOLIS, January 28, 2013 - Capella University, an accredited online university* that has built its reputation by providing high-quality online degree programs for working adults, has announced a new Management Consulting certificate designed to deliver the academic content necessary for Chartered Management Consultant® (ChMC) certification. The online certificate was developed in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Management Consultants® (CIMC), an internationally recognized professional association that developed and oversees ChMC certification as a global management credential. Capella's Management Consulting certificate is the only CIMC-endorsed program that provides the academic background for ChMC certification.
"We wanted to offer our members an all-inclusive program that would deliver the academic background required for ChMC certification," said Linda Bird, administrator of CIMC. "We selected Capella as our partner because we wanted an accredited institution with an excellent academic reputation, expertise in online, post-graduate education, and strong business management programs that reflect the current business climate. Capella's new Management Consulting certificate is designed for a business climate marked by accelerating change, globalization, intensified competition, and compressed strategy life cycles. We are confident this certificate will deliver the knowledge and expertise management consultants need to provide outstanding results for their internal and external clients."
The post-bachelor's certificate focuses on developing competencies associated with the Common Body of Knowledge in Management Consulting. Students choose five from the following courses: Leading Innovation in the Global Organization, Financial Accounting, Finance and Value Creation, Data Analysis for Business Decisions, Organizational Strategy, Entrepreneurial Strategy, and Project Planning, Management, and Financial Control. Because of the partnership between Capella and CIMC, members and staff of CIMC save 10 percent on all Capella courses, including the courses that comprise the Management Consulting certificate. For students whose ultimate goal is an MBA, up to 15 credits from the Management Consulting certificate may be transferred into select Capella MBA specializations, saving students both time and money over the cost of pursuing each program separately.
