CERTIFICATE IN ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP
The St. Francis Xavier University Certificate in Organizational Leadership program is an
academically rigorous, immersive, and unique opportunity for students at StFX interested
in deepening their leadership knowledge and practice.
Within a cohort of limited size, students will progress through four modules, one per term
in each of the Fall and Winter terms. These modules are non-credit while remaining
explicitly connected to academic learning, making the St. Francis Xavier University
Certificate in Organizational Leadership a co-curricular approach to leadership
development for StFX students. Participating students' academic records will note the
completion of this certificate program.
“StFX is founded on the values of academic excellence,
leadership, and service to others.”

“We inspire and drive the intellectual, physical, social,
and spiritual growth of our students. Drawing on the work of our founders
and our history of community and social engagement, we foster rigorous
learning, engaged citizenship, and dynamic leadership.”
- StFX mission
“It's hard to think StFX and not think leadership.”
