Students interested in pursuing the certificate in Ethical Leadership in Organizations or interested in enrolling in SVLD 531 or 532, must apply to the certificate program. The application form must be accompanied by a resume.
To enroll in coursework in the certificate in Ethical Leadership in Organizations, a student must possess a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.
Viterbo University recognizes that the range and intensity of one’s training and accomplishment (professional experience, training, etc.) may be comparable to those individuals holding a bachelor’s degree and may waive the requirement of a bachelor’s degree for enrollment into the certificate courses. The director of the program will make this determination based on the applicant’s resume. The resume is provided at the time of application to the certificate program.
Students granted a waiver of the bachelor’s degree requirement will enroll in coursework on a credit/no credit basis, and must register as such each semester per the credit/no credit policy. The use of these credits (courses) in a Viterbo University master’s program will be up to each specific master’s program.
