Leadership Studies
Learn what it takes to make a difference as a leader with a certificate in leadership studies from UW-Eau Claire. Delve into your leadership styles, learn to understand those around you, and become a leader in whatever business field you are interested in. Here we help you explore how best to be a leader that not only succeeds, but also helps all those around you succeed as well.
Become an Effective Leader
Available to any UW-Eau Claire student, the leadership studies certificate utilizes theory, history, and trends to analyze the art of leadership. Courses explore topics like motivation, group dynamics, conflict, and change.
As part of the program, you'll participate in a number of activities and experiences focused on helping you better understand and develop your own leadership capabilities. The program is intentionally designed so you can focus on tying leadership to the business areas that interest you the most.
Program Details
A large part of the leadership studies certificate focuses on personal reflection and development. Through projects and professional experiences, you'll evaluate your strengths and weaknesses as a leader, as well as identify strategies and tactics for improving on your weaknesses and capitalizing on your strengths. This self-awareness is critical in becoming an effective leader and will better prepare you for future leadership roles.
Throughout the leadership program, you'll participate in multiple outside-the-classroom leadership roles and experiences, and create a leadership resume. These experiences are an excellent way to learn and make connections and can set you apart from other candidates when applying for jobs.
