Description of the Program
The Institute for Leadership Advancement (ILA) in the Terry College of Business develops values-based, impact-driven leaders.

ILA offers two undergraduate paths to earn the Certificate in Personal and Organizational Leadership: The Leadership Fellows Program (for students in any UGA major) and the Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (for Terry College majors). These programs aim to create a new class of leaders who are well trained and embrace ILA's core values of responsibility, stewardship, excellence, integrity, and purpose.

In both programs, students learn behavioral and organizational leadership skills that promote self-development, effective communication, team work, innovation, and adaptability in a changing global environment. Students develop their effectiveness as leaders as they gain a deeper awareness of ethical and social issues, furthering their commitment to service and volunteerism.

The Leonard Leadership Scholars Program (LLSP) is a highly selective two–year leadership development program designed exclusively for Terry undergraduates. The program provides personalized leadership training through innovative courses, enriching co–curricular activities, and challenging Service-Learning opportunities. The student commitment creates and sustains a strong servant–leader culture.

The four required courses for Leonard Leadership Scholars:
ILAD 4100 – Leadership and Personal Development
ILAD 5000 – Personal Career Management
ILAD 5010S – Service-Learning Project Management
ILAD 5100S – Organizational Leadership

To apply for admission to the Leonard Leadership Scholars Program, the applicant must have:

• A Terry College major
• A minimum GPA of 3.2
• 45 hours of UGA or transfer credit (not including AP credits)
• At least four semesters of undergraduate courses remaining at UGA

The Leadership Fellows Program is a highly selective year-long leadership development program open to UGA students of any major. Concurrent to the academic component, students apply theory and best practices through a service project to enhance their understanding of organizational and personal leadership effectiveness.

The three required courses for Fellows:
ILAD 4100 – Leadership and Personal Development
ILAD 5000S – Personal Career Management and Service-Learning
ILAD 5100S – Organizational Leadership

To apply for admission to the Leadership Fellows Program, the applicant must have:
