The UMass Donahue Institute (UMDI), in collaboration with UMass Amherst Continuing & Professional Education, is offering an online Leadership Excellence Certificate program designed for the busy schedules and tight budgets that are standard in today's organizational environment. Using the same approach as UMDI's acclaimed face-to-face training, the Certificate is adapted to an online course structure that flexes around your schedule-offering both convenience and cost-savings for individuals or groups.
