About the Undergraduate Leadership Program

The Undergraduate Leadership Program (ULP) is an interschool certificate program open to all Northwestern undergraduates. Initially supported by the W. Kellogg foundation, the program helps students understand the nature of leadership and prepares them to become leaders on campus, in the community, and in their professions. Participants learn the theories of leadership, experience the challenge of leading others, and create a sense of community with each other and members of the participating organizations.

Beginning fall 2009, 3 required classes are part of the ULP certificate:
  1. Paradigms & Strategies of Leadership Gen_Cmn 204 (offered each fall quarter)
  2. Self-Study (course number TBD): This is a two-credit requirement
  3. Elective Course (view the list)
