Certification

Overview

The Noel Academy and APU’s Doctoral Programs in Higher Education offer two certificates in strengths-oriented higher education: the Certificate in Strengths Approaches to Higher Education Leadership and Student Success and the Doctoral-Level Certificate in Strengths-Oriented Higher Education.

The certificates are designed to assist higher education leaders, practitioners, and faculty to create, implement, and assess strengths-oriented programs on their campuses in order to enhance the success and persistence of their students.

Intended to deepen the knowledge of the strengths philosophy, its conceptual framework within positive psychology, and the aspects of strengths-oriented programming that contribute to positive outcomes for students, the certificates enable participants to serve their campuses more effectively as educators and leaders.
