Brenau University’s Women’s Leadership program educates, inspires and empowers women to become the leaders their communities need. Through this program, which culminates in a certificate or a minor, you’ll have academic and experiential opportunities to develop leadership skills informed by gender awareness. In addition to taking foundational courses, you will complete an internship involving women in leadership, and submit a project related to your internship and present it to a faculty committee. If your major requires an internship, that course may fulfill this requirement, provided the student’s work focuses on women and leadership.
