Description of the Program
The Certificate in Leadership and Service is designed to enhance the leadership
skills and orientation to service of students through an interdisciplinary
approach to the study and practice of leadership. Students will gain experience
in leadership in personal, team, organizational and community contexts. Courses
to complete the certificate will provide students with the opportunity to work
in groups, develop skills in communication and critical thinking, practice
skills in decision making and problem solving, and serve in leadership roles in
their college, campus organizations or community.
Requirements for the certificate are 18 hours of course work. The curriculum
includes four major components: 1) a required foundation course taught from an
interdisciplinary perspective; 2) minimum of 12 hours of electives which
support the conceptual foundations of leadership and service including
psychology, sociology, management, advanced leadership, communication, and
political science courses; 3) discipline–based courses which incorporate
significant service or leadership components; and 4) three hours of directed
project or internship in which students apply leadership and service skills
under the direction of a faculty advisor. The certificate allows students
maximum flexibility in designing a plan of work to target their particular
interests and developmental needs.
The program is a collaborative effort among multiple colleges and campus units
including the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the College
of Family and Consumer Sciences, the Warnell School of Forest Resources, the
College of Education, Student Affairs, and other units who are working to
incorporate leadership and service components in their courses.

Description of the Program
The Institute for Leadership Advancement (ILA) in the Terry College of Business develops a new class of business and community leaders.
Two undergraduate leadership programs form the centerpiece of ILA programming: The Certificate in Personal and Organizational Leadership (for
students in any UGA major) and the Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (for Terry College majors). These programs aim to create a new class of
leaders who are well trained and embrace ILA's values.
The Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (LLSP) is a highly selective two–year leadership development program designed exclusively for Terry undergraduates.
The program provides personalized leadership training through innovative courses, enriching extra–curricular activities, and challenging service
opportunities. The student commitment creates and sustains a strong servant–leader culture that binds all of the program elements and is a large part of
the Leonard "brand."
Integration of the Leonard experience with the foundational knowledge and technical skills acquired through Terry's first–rate academic programs produces
young men and women who are well equipped to contribute to their organizations and communities and serve as models for others to follow.
The Certificate in Personal and Organizational Leadership (CPOL) is a course–based program that results in a transcript notation at the successful
completion of the ILAD core courses and nine additional credit hours of approved electives.
The three required courses:
ILAD 4100 – Leadership, Personal Development, and Organizations
ILAD 5000 – Personal Career Management
ILAD 5100 – Leading from Within
To apply for admission to ILA undergraduate programs, a student must:
- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2
- Have class standing as a rising junior
- For CPOL, any major qualifies
- For LLSP, be admissible to the Terry College by the fall semester following selection
Leaders are self–directed and motivated. Being proactive is the key to achieving success in the undergraduate certificate program. ILA gives
students the tools and the knowledge to make a difference and be a part of a New Class of Leaders.
