In July, we are launching a new online program on Coursera, one of the largest online learning platforms in the world. The Specialization Certificate in Ethical Leadership is a non-credit, fully asynchronous program for working professionals interested in studying the intersection of ethics, leadership and business.
The aim of the program is to provide learners with a deep understanding of critical issues such as diversity, ethical use of technology and building a workplace where individuals can flourish. We partnered with ND Learning, ND Studios and the instructional design firm iDesign to develop the program.
Learners must complete six courses to earn a certificate through Coursera:
- Leading from Within: Joseph Holt, the James E. Jack Teaching Professor of Business Ethics
- Leadership for an Increasingly Diverse World: Angela R. Logan, associate teaching professor of Management & Organization and the St. Andre Bessette Academic Director of the Master of Nonprofit Administration
- Ethical Technology: Kirsten Martin, the William P. and Hazel B. White Center Professor of Technology Ethics and Director of the Notre Dame Technology Ethics Center
- Ethics of Communication: Amanda G. McKendree, associate teaching professor of Management and the Arthur F. and Mary J. O'Neil Director of the Eugene D. Fanning Center for Business Communication
- The Discipline of Leadership: Cindy P. Muir (Zapata), professor of Management & Organizations
- Why Business?: James Otteson, the John T. Ryan Jr. Professor of Business Ethics and Rex and Alice A. Martin Faculty Director of the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership.
We plan to offer more programs like this in the future that align with our mission and provide a very wide audience with a uniquely Notre Dame learning experience.
We are grateful to Bob Lewandowski and Ken Kelley, who have led the creation of the Specialization Certificate in Ethical Leadership; to our ND Learning partners Elliott Visconsi and Sonia Howell; to ND Studios production manager Lynn Langston; and to Jim, Amanda, Kirsten, Cindy, Angela and Joe for their willingness to teach in the program.
In Notre Dame,
