Business Processes Certificate (BPC) Program
At Texas State, we believe in building the skills of our employees and helping them better themselves and our community. That's why we are proud to offer the Business Processes Certificate (BPC) program. This self-paced program is designed to help employees learn the ins and outs of various business functions and processes at our University. This program includes five individual tracks specific to unique University business functions.
Through participation, you will gain valuable insight into various business procedures, applications, and policies that support our University. This insight will improve your skills and save you time while navigating our various Texas State Systems.
Any full or part-time staff member can participate. If you are an employee who works in business processes, budgets, purchasing, management, or research and grant proposals; or you're interested in learning more about the Texas State Systems, then these courses are for you.

When we launched, the courses took place in Canvas and SuccessFactors (SF) Learning. We are now proud to say that all the courses will be housed in SF Learning.
