New Leadership in Organizations Certificate
The College of Business launched this term a new graduate certificate called Leadership in Organizations.
The certificate will give students the ability to identify and evaluate the role of ethics, motivation, power, and diversity in leader behaviors. Emphasis is placed on effective teamwork, interpersonal skills and the importance of trust and relationships to help facilitate critical decision making and problem solving. The certificate also will provide students with the body of knowledge needed to lead effectively in modern business environments.
“The College has placed a heavy emphasis on leadership, which is reflected in our leadership curriculum that every undergraduate has to take,” said Dr. Lee Grubb, chair, department of management. “Now, with this new certification, we’re extending this dedication to our graduate students and those looking to increase their knowledge set.”
Grubb said the fall ’20 term will focus on leadership theory, and the spring ’21 term will look at ethics, change leadership and leading in different organizational environments.
The College of Business offers a total of eight stand-alone graduate certificates. Successful completion of any graduate certificate qualifies a student to bypass the entrance exam requirement for the College’s MBA, MSA and MS in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality degrees.
