CERTIFICATE IN ETHICS AND GOVERNANCE FOR NONPROFITS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES

In the wake of newsworthy disclosures of fraud and ethics violations, the number of which has grown dramatically in the past decade, nonprofits and publicly traded companies are being held to higher public standards than ever before. In response to the demand for better behavior, however, far too many organizations still find themselves adrift searching for polices and a language that will inform their activities at both the board- and senior staff-levels. This wholly online certificate helps the leaders of for-profit and nonprofit organizations better recognize and address ethical dilemmas.

Upon completion of the certificate, students have the ability to:

• Evaluate shareholders, employees, and other interest groups
• Determine how the above fit in with the management and operational culture of the company.
• Assist management in making tough governance choices.
• Balance the often competing needs of the organization--including financial, social, environmental, and political--and understand the responsibilities of the board management.

This certificate is awarded to students who successfully complete all six required courses. A B average or better is required to be eligible for the certificate.
