The Community Leadership programs at UMBC prepare aspiring and practicing leaders with the skills and experience needed to generate transformative social change. We help students develop greater self-understanding, engage with the assets and challenges of urban communities, hone practical leadership skills, and build personal and professional relationships that will support their growth as leaders.
Community Leadership Skills Courses emphasize practical skills, deep dives into crucial topics, and take only 5 weeks to complete. The practical aspect of the courses allows you to immediately apply what you’re learning to your work. The courses can be converted to credits if you decide to enter the UMBC Community Leadership graduate program.
These programs are designed for working professionals and offer courses in the evening to accommodate students with full-time jobs.
