Corporate Leadership Certificate

It is often said that leadership is action, not position. But what actions should you be taking to excel in your position as a corporate leader, or to rise up into the ranks of leadership? Many people have been promoted up the corporate ladder, but never receive the formal training in management skills they need. And in these post-pandemic times, when the economy is anemic and employee morale may be lagging, proven leadership strategies are more vital than ever.

By earning a certificate in corporate leadership, through six three-credit courses, you can become a stronger thought leader in as little as nine months, or continue on to earn your bachelor’s degree in business administration. Your philosophical training and hands-on skills will be especially valuable as you seek lucrative work in corporations, academic institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits.

You could find challenging, rewarding work as a manager in a field with a projected growth that is projected to be six percent higher than the average.    (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)
