For professionals who want to prepare for leadership and executive roles in nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofit organizations are among the largest employers in Massachusetts, yet trends predict a shortage of qualified leadership in the coming years.

Wheelock's Graduate Certificate in Organizational Leadership is designed to address these emerging trends by providing you with the theory, skills, and knowledge to prepare you to advance in nonprofit management. You can earn a graduate credential in as little as one year.

Additionally, all four courses required for this certificate may also be applied to our MS in Organizational Leadership program.
