Professional Leadership Certificate of Proficiency

Learning, networking, and career opportunities

The certificate of proficiency in professional leadership offers a 15-hour stand-alone solution for individuals currently employed in professional, corporate, management, industrial and nonprofit positions but whose formal academic background may not have emphasized this skillset. The certificate also offers an opportunity for individuals who have earned some college credit but who have not received a baccalaureate degree to enhance their leadership abilities. For these potential students, the certificate would serve as a gateway to the Bachelor of Professional Studies degree or the Bachelor of Applied Science degree. Finally, the certificate provides current students an opportunity to enhance their employability before graduation, regardless of their field of study.
