Academic Short Courses

Academic short courses offer working professionals the opportunity to learn from experts who will share their knowledge and the latest research being conducted at Rensselaer. Courses may be specifically designed for your organization and can be offered in a short, intensive format, to minimize the time away from work.


Foundations of Leadership
Foundations of Leadership (FOL)® is a three-day leadership development workshop designed to assist the development of emerging leaders and managers by increasing their personal awareness, interpersonal effectiveness, and managerial abilities. FOL is offered by Rensselaer at Hartford under specific license from The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL®). Specifically, FOL examines the dynamics of leadership as they relate to influence, conflict management and goal setting. To achieve the greatest possible results, a number of different methods are employed. These include assessment questionnaires, well researched leadership models, experiential activities, "real-life" case studies, and one-to-one consultations.
