This certificate program is designed to provide practical skills
and experiences appropriate for employment in a wide range of careers
involving the development, administration, and delivery of educational
programs and services provided by both nonprofit and for-profit
organizations. Recognizing that interpersonal skills and business savvy
are often as important as solid technical and conceptual foundations in
a discipline, the program is intended to supplement a variety of
discipline-based major programs.
The program explores
communication skills; management skills; experience and skill in the
development of proposals and reports; the ability to design, implement,
and assess educational programs, activities, and related budgets; and
the ability to contribute to a program as both an individual and member
of a team. An experience-based education component is an integral
requisite for the certificate.
