The University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Haslam College of Business has announced that its Online Franchise Certification program has received endorsement from the International Franchise Association (IFA). This prestigious recognition signifies that the program meets the rigorous standards set by the IFA and prepares students for success in the franchising industry.
Haslam’s program is now an affiliate of the IFA, allowing students to earn a non-degree certificate from the IFA’s Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) program, widely considered the gold standard in franchise education.
The seven-week online program covers essential topics such as franchise foundations, evaluation, acquisition, building, leadership, operations, and growth. Students benefit from live classes, networking opportunities, and mentorship from industry experts.
“This program is designed to empower aspiring entrepreneurs and help them achieve their goals through franchising,” said Cordell Riley, program instructor and advisor. “We are proud to be recognized by the IFA and excited to offer this valuable opportunity to our students.”
