WHAT YOU NEED TO GET TO WHAT’S NEXT.

The world is changing rapidly. Jobs that existed yesterday may be gone tomorrow. Jobs needed in the future will need qualified candidates. Whatever is next for you, we’re prepared to help you take control of your future and reach your goals. Grand Valley’s LEADS (Lifelong Educational Attainment for Determined Students) program delivers an integrative studies bachelor’s degree PLUS a certificate in one of four high demand areas that employers are asking for by name in job descriptions: leadership, data analytics, project management, or global communications. These certificates can be integrated into your bachelor’s degree, so you get more value without more time or cost, or you can earn them on their own.

The certificates are completely online. The bachelor’s degree is almost entirely online, requiring just two in-person, on-campus Saturday visits at any of our locations: Grand Rapids, Holland, Traverse City, or Detroit.

Registration is Open. Classes begin August 31, 2020. Visit the program details for other start dates.
