Professional Leadership is a broad set of skills designed to assist graduates to interact successfully with their colleagues in the workplace and the community. Personal skill development focuses on the individual, the group, and society. The goal of this interdisciplinary certificate program is to foster leadership in the FIU student body. It will encourage a consideration of leadership from multiple perspectives and contexts. Through involvement with the campus and community, students will become engaged in their own professional leadership education.
The Certificate Program requires completion of 18 credit hours of course work. All students are required to take a common introductory course- Exploring Leadership- and two other core courses. Then students fulfill certificate requirements by taking three electives consistent with their academic and career objectives.
