***Online graduate certificate
Leaders of animal shelters have responsibilities that are unique to the profession of animal welfare. For example, they might need to enforce and modify local animal-control ordinances, communicate with both elected officials and appointed boards, collaborate with state public health officials, and maintain excellent community relations so that adequate funds, volunteers, and staff are always available to support the life-saving mission of the animal shelter. In this program, students will learn key skills to help them lead, manage, raise funds, market, and coordinate a variety of shelter operations such as animal control, adoptions, fosters, and infectious disease control.
Please note, a bachelor’s degree is required for admission to the Animal Shelter Leadership graduate certificate program.
