Change Management Certificate

Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduate Programs

The graduate Change Management certificate is a set of 13 credit hours designed specifically for adults to learn how to manage complex change by clearing away ambiguity and facilitating the effective implementation of change initiatives. Course topics include effective communication, continuous improvement processes, team facilitation, leadership, and project management. These hours transfer into the Master of Arts Management: Change Management degree or the Master of Science Organizational Development: Change Management degree. The certificate in Change Management can be taken independent of enrollment in any graduate degree program.

Students present the results of their projects to the clients from that organization in both oral and written format. The clients for the project will assess the project based upon the above criteria. In addition, professionals in the management field and faculty in the program will assess the written portion of the final reports. The Summative assessment occurs yearly.
