Communication and Leadership Courses
Purdue University’s online Graduate Certificate in Communication and Leadership will equip you with a strong understanding of corporate communication methods as you learn to apply them in leadership roles within your field. Students will take the two required courses and then choose two additional courses to complete the 12-credit-hour certificate. Courses are 8 weeks in length and are conducted asynchronously.
If you opt to complete the certificate first, credits can be applied to the MS in Communication and MS in Corporate Training and Communication, saving you time.
