Frequently Asked Questions

There are no prerequisites to enroll in the certificate but the courses LDRS 2000, 3000 and 4999 all have prerequisites.  Specifically for LDRS 2000, students must complete COMM 1110 OR ENGL 1101 with a grade of C or better. 

If you took a leadership class at another institution, the program director can determine if the course is equivalent to any leadership course here at AU.

The certificate is a "Less than One Year" certificate which means it could be done in two semesters (LDRS 2000 first semester and two bridge courses and capstone the second semester) however, it is preferred to spread it out over multiple semesters.

You can check the status of your progress in the Certificate of Leadership program in JagTrax. On your JagTrax transcript, under the degree drop down menu, choose CERO to see the classes that apply to your certificate.
