LCP | Overview
LEARNING TO LEAD. LEADING TO SERVE.
The Leadership Certificate Program (LCP) fosters the leadership development of participating Georgia College students through student-centered instruction, meaningful programming, practical experience, and purposeful reflection.
The leadership training, education, and development of these students supports their performance in current leadership positions, benefits the organizations and programs with which they work, and prepares them for future leadership endeavors.
LCP members improve their understanding of important leadership concepts, develop valuable leadership skills, and gain direct leadership experience by participating in courses, workshops, discussions, retreats, service projects, presentations, and conferences.
To participate in the LCP, students must have earned at least 30 hours of academic credit, have a minimum GPA of 3.0, and gain acceptance into the program through an application process.
Students from all disciplines are invited to apply, and they may do so at any time during the academic year. Students generally begin their participation the semester they apply or the following semester. Completion of all program requirements may take three to four semesters; however, once selected to the LCP, members are invited to actively participate until graduation. Members who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate to denote participation and a medallion to be worn at graduation.
