As the landscape in the business world rapidly changes, you’ll need to keep your skills fresh as well. If you’ve already completed a master’s degree, but you are wondering what the next step in your education should be, an Executive Certificate is something you may want to consider.

Our 100% online Executive Certificate in Strategic Leadership is designed to give you both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in leadership. Our program focuses on a variety of leadership principles essential to effective business management. In our strategic leadership executive certificate program, you will learn the skills you need to excel in the top tiers of the corporate world.

Military Tuition Discount

If you have served in the military, we want to go above and beyond to show you our gratitude. That’s why we designed our 21-credit-hour certificates to work especially well for you. Earning an Executive Certificate makes you eligible for our military alumni doctoral discount — you’ll receive the discounted $300/credit hour military rate both during the certificate and later during a doctoral degree.* Many of our certificates roll directly into a corresponding doctoral degree, allowing you to get a jumpstart on your doctorate!

If your plans to earn a doctoral degree lie further in the future, each certificate also stands on its own as a professional development credential, setting you apart from your peers and giving you the flexibility to start a doctoral degree whenever you’re ready. It’s one more way we show our appreciation.

*In order to retain the $300/credit hour rate, the doctoral degree must be started within 2 years of completing the Executive Certificate.
