New Department of
Organizational Leadership,
Policy and Development
Effective July 1, 2009, a
new department has been created
that integrates the business and
marketing education, human
resource development and adult
education, and comprehensive
WHRE programs from the
Department of
Work and Human Resource
Education (WHRE) into the
department formerly known as
Educational Policy and
Administration (EdPA). The
name of this new department is
Organizational Leadership,
Policy and Development (OLPD).
It will offer exciting
opportunities for collaboration
and interdisciplinary education
and research. Click

Adult Education Certificate
Who Can Get a Certificate?
- Degree and non-degree seeking students from both within
and outside the department are eligible to get a
certificate.
- Many students who pursue a baccalaureate, master's or
doctoral degree add to their credential by getting a
certificate in adult education or human resource
development.
- Some students get both certificates.
What Value Is a Certificate?
- The certificates provide additional recognition of
professional expertise, particularly when combined with a
degree.
- The certificates are a reflection of a commitment to
lifelong learning.
- The certificates add a credential to a variety of
professional fields (e.g., family education, community
education, career counseling, nursing education, industrial
relations).
- The certificates in human
resource development and adult
education are noted on the official transcript (i.e.,
they have had the approval of the Regents of the University
of Minnesota).
