Bachelor's Completion Program
领导 is a capacity — rather than a skill — one which we need now more than ever and one that develops through a longer learning process. As we find we need new ideas and approaches in the workplace, we realize that understanding leadership is necessary to move forward in the 21st century. 领导 means working with true collaboration to address problems and issues. It’s about adapting to change and working with and through relationships.

“I (had) heard from other adult learners that this program enriched their lives in a way that was totally different than any other place. I felt like I was a number at the other places... and here I felt, Oh gosh, I love this place.”

“我觉得, as we complete each course, that there is a method to the madness, people have sat down and thought about the program. They’ve thought about what we need to do to be successful and made it truly meaningful.”
