Cert in Business Administration, Management and Operations

The Supervisory Leadership Certificate is offered through the Department of Leadership and Talent Development at Purdue University Fort Wayne. It suits students from any major who expect to oversee people or projects and want structured preparation for that responsibility. The curriculum is flexible. Students choose from a menu of subjects that includes innovation and entrepreneurship, customer service, workplace health and safety, human resources matters and leadership processes, so the certificate can be shaped around a particular career direction. Along the way, learners sharpen problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities, become familiar with current theories in leadership and human resource systems, and practice using those ideas on real organizational situations. Typical destinations include roles such as production supervisor, human resources specialist, training consultant, district manager or regional manager across many industries.
