Equity and Leadership in Higher Education Certificate

The self-support postbaccalaureate Certificate in Equity and Leadership in Higher Education is designed for professionals seeking to understand and dismantle systemic inequities within higher education institutions and to provide additional learning and skill development for work in higher education. This program equips students with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to critically analyze and strategically address barriers to equity, both historically and in contemporary contexts. This is a one-year online asynchronous certificate program, with some synchronous opportunities.
