Ethical Leadership in business, or the lack thereof, has become a big focus in the media over the last decade. With the explosion of viral news sources, unethical business leaders and their wrongdoings are constantly being exposed. This new phenomenon gives way to the importance of business ethics and leadership skills taught in the classroom. These types of ethical leadership skills can give students a leg up in the world of business. The intention of the Advanced Certificate in Ethical Leadership is to prepare students to be effective leaders and to solve the challenges of ethical dilemmas they will face in their careers.

The 9 credits earned in the advanced certificate may be applied to either the Master of Business Administration or Master of Public Administration programs. Students generally carry one or two courses per semester and take up to a calendar year to complete the certificate.
