About the Program
The Certificate is designed to meet the needs of individuals interested in senior
level leadership positions. Those who have graduate degrees in other fields of study
will find this leadership certificate of special value.

serve in leadership positions. Issues such as the 鈥渆merging undergraduate college鈥
from the current community college structure will be presented. Current faculty who
wish to seek faculty leadership roles within the community college/higher education
institution will also benefit from this program of studies.
