In collaboration with community partners, the Center provides extensive educational opportunities for Massachusetts’ public service managers.  Increasing demand and a solid reputation in the community has expanded the certificate program dramatically since its inception in 1999.  These year long programs are currently being offered in partnership with the following agencies:

• The Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers:  Certificate in Community Health and Community Health Center Management
• Massachusetts Human Services Providers Council:  Certificate in Community Human Service Management
• Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts:  Certificate in Home Care Management
• Massachusetts Human Services Providers Council:  Certificate in Non-Profit Administration and Finance
• Haitian Multi-Service Center:  Certificate in Health & Human Services Management
• Shriver Center LEND Program: Certificate in Education in Neurodevelopment and Related Disabillities
• Town of Nantucket: Certificate in Local Government Management

Participants in these programs have potential for up to 12-15 graduate credit waivers, depending on the program. Because of this benefit, many certificate graduates continue on to Suffolk MPA or MHA programs.
