Public and Nonprofit Leadership Microcredential
|
|
College of Liberal Arts >> Political Science, Public Administration, and Philosophy department
6 hours
The undergraduate microcredential in Public and Nonprofit Leadership will strengthen your knowledge and leadership skills necessary in diverse organizational and community settings. You will improve your understanding of how managers can apply theories and concepts of organizational structure, culture, leadership, motivation, and performance toward improved decision making and performance. The microcredential is open to both USI and non-USI students who wish to advance their leadership skills. It provides a good fit for working professionals who pursue careers in public and nonprofit organizations. USI students do not have to be formally enrolled in the microcredential to take the courses. Credit hours for the microcredential must be earned at USI and may be applied toward another degree program, including the major and minors in Political Science and Public and Nonprofit Administration.

Undergraduate Microcredential Requirements
- The total number of credit hours required for an undergraduate microcredential may vary by academic discipline but must require a minimum of 6 credit hours and not more than 9 credit hours.
- At least 50% of the microcredential requirements must be earned at USI.
- Coursework taken more than 4 years before the microcredential is awarded cannot be applied.
- Credit hours earned for a microcredential may be applied toward another degree program. A microcredential, therefore, can be embedded within a larger (e.g. certificate, minor, or major) undergraduate degree program. Academic departments may determine whether coursework taken to complete a microcredential can also be applied to a degree program.
- Microcredentials may be stand-alone or linked to an existing degree program, allowing for stackability with other microcredentials and certificates toward a degree (i.e., certificate, minor, or major) program.
