Programs taught by Fisher faculty cover some of the most in-demand subjects being discussed by organizations today, including leadership, finance, supply chain management, and more. Participants in the Certificate of Leadership Excellence program can choose which programs are most advantageous for their individual professional development, applying the knowledge gained in each program in a capstone project.
