“Signing up for the Certificate program was a powerful decision for me, both as a mother and a professional. With both of my daughters heading off to college, I wanted to set an example by showing them the value of higher education—something I hadn’t experienced firsthand. The professors were truly the best part of the experience. They were exceptional in every way, making the learning process engaging and impactful. My colleagues have noticed a positive shift in my management style and the way I handle challenges. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to grow their leadership skills and elevate their career.”

Leadership for Women in Business Certificate Nearly half of all working adults are women; women now make up the majority of students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. Despite these indications that they have the skills and education to be leaders in the workforce, women are underrepresented in many areas, and the persistent wage gap demonstrates that their work is undervalued. This certificate explores the social and psychological mechanisms that create challenges that professional women frequently face. Alongside commentary from women leaders, the material also provides concrete and data-driven recommendations for career advancement. *LSU Online partners with MindEdge to deliver this program.
