Programme overview

This graduate certificate aims to prepare our future faculty and academic leaders through exposure to concepts that break the mold of existing practices in higher education. Many leaders in the academic and business communities have challenged colleges and universities to embrace change to ensure the viability of the higher education enterprise. Rather than settle for the status quo and witness a probable decline in sustainability, most argue that it is time to create new models and new methods of training for the future professoriate, who will become the faculty and academic leaders of tomorrow.
