The Franke Global Leadership Initiative is a four-year, 12-credit certificate program. It focuses on a different component for each of the four years: Exploring Global Challenges, Models of Leadership, Beyond the Classroom, and The Capstone.

Early on in the program, students choose a Global Theme, which will help to guide each individual’s path through the third- and fourth-year experiences. Charted below is the timeline noting the requirements of the program. Students must receive a C- or better in all credit-bearing experiences in order to be eligible for the certificate.
