Supervisory Certificate Program
The Supervisory Certificate Program (SCP) is intended to help Drexel supervisors gain the knowledge, information and tools to become more effective members of Drexel’s management team. Now an established and sought-after offering, the SCP gives participants an opportunity to develop their professional skill sets, enhance self-confidence, and strengthen a culture of excellence. The SCP is offered by the Human Resources Talent Development team as part of a comprehensive approach to building leadership capacity throughout Drexel. Participants reflect on their experience below.
Program Requirements
If you are interested in becoming a Supervisory Certificate Program participant, please request your immediate supervisor or manager to email a letter of recommendation to scp@drexel.edu.
Upon acceptance into the program, you will be notified via email with instructions on how to register for the next available Fundamentals of Supervision workshop. This full day workshop is the first of five required core courses and a prerequisite for the other four core courses. While participants are welcome to attend as many electives as they want, only two are required for program graduation. Electives (unless a level II) may be taken in any order the participant chooses.

"I so appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals of supervision at my own pace, particularly being able to select electives based on my more direct interests. Also wonderful was the chance to network with colleagues from various schools and departments across the University."
