Leadership for a Changing World
At CU Boulder, we’re shaping tomorrow’s leaders to address the most pressing and complex professional and global issues.
Our affiliated leadership programs are designed to hone your skills to better understand yourself and others, improve your communication, sharpen your critical thinking, and view challenging issues through a different lens.
From academic courses to experiential learning and co-curricular leader development programming, many of our programs provide a certificate or minor in leadership. No matter where your education or career may take you, if you have an interest in being a better leader—a better you—CU Boulder has you covered.
"As Chancellor, my top imperative for the university is to shape tomorrow’s leaders. While participating in a leader development program is not required to be a leader, I feel strongly that our dedicated leadership education and experiences uniquely position our graduates to positively impact humanity."
- Philip DiStefano, Chancellor & Newton Chair in Leadership
