The Graduate Certificate in Global Leadership and Learning program provides students with the opportunity to examine leadership and organizational learning within a global context as a supplement to their main graduate program of study. As the practice of global leadership requires an increasingly complex set of skills, as compared to leadership in a domestic context, this graduate certificate will equip students with critical strategies necessary for inclusive global leadership in a variety of educational and organizational learning contexts.
