Leadership Studies Certificate

Admission

Candidates for this certificate are required to be formally admitted by the IUPUI Office of Admissions, but are not required to be a B.S. degree student in the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology.  Up to 6.0 credit hours in comparable transfer credit complete in other programs or at other colleges and universities may be applied to this undergraduate certificate program. Credits earned while completing this certificate may be subsequently applied toward either the A.S. or B.S. degree in Organizational Leadership (OLS); however, students with a declared major in OLS are not eligible to earn the Leadership Studies certificate due to curricular redundancy.
