This completion track is designed for students holding an Associate Degree who want to advance into contract negotiation, compliance tracking, and dispute resolution processes. Students build on foundational contract knowledge to manage contracts more independently.
Offered in a flexible one-year format, the program allows transfer credit to apply toward the 84 required credit hours, and a capstone bridge project has students draft and analyze a full contract scenario. Graduates are prepared for roles such as contract administrator or compliance coordinator.
