Certificate of Supervisory Leadership
This certificate program helps to broaden your supervisory skills in preparation for employment or promotion in supervisory positions. The classes can later be applied toward an associate degree. To earn the certificate you must complete the required courses, and earn a grade of C or better in each course.
Admissions
You must be formally admitted to Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) before you are eligible to register for classes. You are classified as an applicant for regular admission if you are seeking admission to this certificate program. In addition to your application for regular admission, you must furnish an official copy of your high school transcript, or General Education Development (GED) scores. Applicants for regular admission must apply by:
- August 1 for fall semester
- December 15 for spring semester
- May 1 for summer sessions
If your application and supporting materials cannot be received by these deadlines, you may be admitted on a non degree (temporary) basis. Non degree (temporary) admission status allows you to begin attending the university without being regularly admitted. While taking classes as a non degree student, you must apply for regular admission. You must have applied for and been granted regular admission to be awarded the Supervisory Leadership Certificate, and you must declare pursuit of the certificate before completing the 21 credit hour course requirements.
