Students enter our program seeking to be more effective leaders…and happen to pick up a certificate along the way. Here are a few things participants say they want to learn: "Work on my weaknesses", "Grow as a leader and as a person", "Know how to lead", "Know the right answer". Sure, you'll talk about all of these topics, but many more. You'll also learn about the major theories and frameworks that effective leaders use every day. And in the end, what you get out of the program will be meaningful to you as an individual, to your role as a leader, and to the effectiveness of your team. You will be changed for good. To complete the Undergraduate Leadership Certificate, students are required to successfully complete the following three courses while enrolled at Northwestern University: Paradigms & Strategies of Leadership (LDRSHP 204), Leading from Design (LDRSHP 304), Field Study in Leadership (LDRSHP 396).
