CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDY (C.A.G.S.)

The C.A.G.S. program in Management at CMMU responds to the need among an increasing number of Master Degree graduates in Thailand and the region for post-graduate education in management. Many Master degree graduates wish to update their training and develop expertise in new or different management domains. For many, doctoral level education is both unnecessary and inappropriate to achieving professional goals concerned with practice rather than research.

  • Many Master degree graduates have a need to update their training and/or develop expertise in new or different management domains.
