The IWL Leadership Scholars Certificate Program, offered through
the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, is a two-year
interdisciplinary program in Women's Leadership and Social Change that
prepares undergraduate students to be informed, innovative, and
socially responsible leaders. Students in the program select a women's
policy area in which to concentrate. These include art/
media/literature, education, health, human rights, law, politics, the
environment, and work, as well as a general leadership area. Students
affiliate with the IWL during four terms and are required to take 18
credits of course work. This includes a two-term practicum that
consists of an internship and a social action project. Students choose
from a wide range of courses to fulfill the other certificate
requirements. This selective program requires an application; contact
the Institute for Women's Leadership for further information.
