MBA Leadership Certificate

Catalog description

The MBA Leadership Certificate Program comprises nine components that include two full courses, components of two other courses, and activities outside of the classroom. Students seeking the certificate are supervised and guided by a member of the Department of Management faculty. MBA students will receive an early introduction to the importance of leadership to their MBA experience, and to their professional careers, during the several orientation programs. That experience is a springboard for the Executives on Campus (EOC) mentoring program, which will help students to clarify career and personal goals, and assist in placement when appropriate. Students will also benefit more fully from activities embedded within existing courses because of this preparation. They are also required to take MGT 9660, Negotiation, and either MGT 9330, Leadership and Managerial Effectiveness, or MGT 9302, Developing Managerial Skills, among their electives.
