Certificate in Leadership

Please be advised that the Certificate in Leadership will be replacing the Certificate in Leading People and Organizations.

Eligibility:  The Certificate is open to any Dalhousie undergraduate student.  Non-degree Dalhousie students may qualify for the Certificate if they fulfill all course requirements at Dalhousie.

Overview: The Certificate in Leadership develops students' knowledge of leadership theories, addresses how the student can incorporate these theories into practice, and positions students to take the appropriate and useful organizational action.  Skills learned are applicable to public, private, and not-for-profit organizations.

A focus on understanding the human resource management function within the organization will complement students' knowledge of selecting, training, and equipping personnel, while ensuring positive labour relations and maintaining health and safety.  Students will have the ability to articulate their own personal strengths and weaknesses to improve interpersonal relationships.
