Anita Cline-ColeMAOL Certificates
Certificate students seek a more focused approach to advanced leadership education. Some are not yet ready to pursue a full graduate degree. Others already hold a graduate degree. Still others simply want a shorter course of study that will add advanced leadership skills to their portfolio. For these students, certificates are an ideal option.
Most of our concentrations are available as certificate programs and require five to seven courses (15 to 18 credits).
