1. Short-term Leadership Certificate Programs (“Plan B”)
In addition to the Master of Arts in Intercultural Leadership (MIL), APC offers an alternative option (“Plan B”) resulting in a certificate. Plan B is for students already enrolled in the MIL program who find that they do not have the time to devote to the full-time program, or who fail one of the two courses offered in a semester. In subsequent semesters, certificate students may enroll for only one course per semester and work toward earning one of the two certificates. Like the MIL, all courses are offered on-line. The two certificate options include the Leadership Certificate and the Executive Leadership Certificate. The Leadership Certificate may be completed in one year, after the student has successfully completed 9-12 credits. The Executive Leadership Certificate is slightly more demanding, with the student completing 15-18 credits in two years. There is no requirement for a scholarly paper or attendance at the Culmination.
Note that the following restrictions apply for Plan B:
- Students must already be enrolled in a cohort to switch to Plan B. No students are initially accepted into the MIL program on the Plan B option.
- The student must receive a passing grade in the other class offered the semester he/she receives the failing grade.
- The student may enroll for only one class (or for the maximum two classes) in any semester, but MUST complete all the certificate requirements within the time limit. If the time limit is exceeded, no certificate will be awarded.
- Students enrolled in only one course for the semester must pass that course in order to continue in the program
TOP2. Workshops and Lecture Series
In addition to the MIL and Certificate programs, and as need arises, APC offers one-and two-week workshops and lecture series for busy professionals and community leaders to broaden their cross-cultural perspective on leadership styles and issues in countries across Asia. Drawing on the resources of the University of Hawaii, as well as bringing in speakers from universities and other Mainland institutions, these workshops cover a broad range of topics and issues. Updated information on scheduled workshops and lecture series can be seen on the APC website http://www.apchawaii.org.
3. Collaborative Language and Culture Programs
Finally, APC offers, in conjunction with the Center for Asia-Pacific Exchange (CAPE), admission into the International Program for College Students, an intensive month-long program for the study of English language and American and Hawaiian history and culture. These are generally offered in January-February, and again in June-July-August, as the students’ university calendars permit.
