Global Leadership Undergraduate Certificate

The Global Leadership Certificate prepares undergraduate students for purposeful lives as leaders who understand contemporary international issues, are adept at mobilizing resources toward shared goals, and are able to build networks that link people with communities across the globe. Students learn to work across differences of culture, experience, and perspective, approaching social change as a participatory process through which they can help build more just, resilient, and connected societies. 

The program combines critical and creative inquiry with sustained engagement across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Students develop their capacity to communicate clearly, question assumptions, consider unfamiliar perspectives, and adapt to new environments. A year of foreign language study builds linguistic and intercultural understanding, while an immersive internship places students in a community or professional setting where they can build relationships and put principles of global leadership into practice.
