Professional Development
Lead Your Organization into Creating a Culture that Will Produce Results with a Certificate in Organization Development and Leadership

The USF St. Petersburg classes are offered in partnership with the USF Bishop Center
for Ethical Leadership.
Creating the "right" environment or cultivating the "right" corporate culture is one
of the key foundations of business success. The foundation is fundamental to employee
performance, engagement, productivity, innovation and growth. One only needs to scour
the internet to find hundreds to thousands of books and articles written on this subject
every year but sadly the implementation of best practices in this area remains sorely
neglected.
The USF Certificate in Organization Development and Leadership synthesizes the research
and data on this subject into an impactful program of study in order to equip you
with the tools and insight you need to positively affect your organization. Completing
this program will give you the skills you need to lead and cultivate a winning culture
that will positively affect your business, department, or company.
Course Structure and What You Will Learn
Our Organization and Development Program is made up of 5 courses and a capstone course.
Our program is 30 hours contact long so you can finish your certificate in under 2
months while earning CE/PDU or SHRM recertification credits. One important feature
that sets our program apart from others is our program is exclusively taught by industry
veterans and consultants who live what they teach and preach on a daily basis, so
you are only getting proven high quality instruction and skills that work in the real
world. Another feature is that our open enrollment courses are typically held two
evenings a week beginning at 6pm or on Saturday, so that they are meant for working
professionals or those with extremely busy or hectic lives. We also offer these courses
to companies on site as well if you have a captive number of participants you would
like to train.
