SERIES OVERVIEW MSU’s four-week Railway Management Certificate Program is the only North American program that covers the breadth and depth of the complex railway industry ecosystem from both a conceptual and practical business perspective.

Content is applicable to the whole rail industry: freight & passenger railroads, transit authorities, industry & regulatory agencies, suppliers, and shippers. Critical and topical subjects are covered in a classroom setting with interactive discussions. Site visits aid learning and include railroad facilities, customers, suppliers, associations, and agencies. The program was developed by MSU Railway Management Program staff, evaluated and improved by a curriculum committee of railroad industry leaders. Subject matter experts for the program include distinguished railroaders, transportation industry leaders and experienced MSU faculty. SCHEDULE Four individual modules, each a week long, of classroom and site visits link to online support with assigned instructors responsible for mentoring the learning experience. A Certificate in Railway Management will be awarded on completion of the program. Each week starts Monday at 8 a.m. and runs through Friday noon.
