Patton | Details | Education Public Policy Leadership Graduate Certificate Online
Creating Change Starts Here
Ohio University's Patton College of Education, in collaboration with The Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, offers a one-year online Education Public Policy Leadership Certificate designed to expose participants to real-world theoretical and practical instruction and experiences in education public policy leadership studies.
Upon completion of this certificate, students will have a strong command of the public policymaking process, including policy development, analysis, implementation, evaluation, and advocacy for an education public policy passion of their choice.
Networking Residency
Each year of online study will culminate in a networking residency in Washington, D.C. The residency is a three-day immersive experience for students to network and engage in hands-on advocacy with their peers and Congressional members and staff.
The residency gives our students a thorough understanding of the workings of Congress and includes opportunities to participate in the policy process.
