Program offers opportunity to enhance leadership skills

The Nebraska Certified Public Manager (CPM) Program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha offers a comprehensive course of study by which public and non-profit managers can acquire and apply best practices and theory to their leadership and management of people, processes and organizations.

The course of study is designed to address competencies that facilitate exceptional job performance and organizational success. The curriculum applies theory to practical problems facing the participant, their agency/department/organization and citizens.

In addition to the benefits of advancing leadership and management skills, the Nebraska CPM Program also offers credit to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Graduates of the Nebraska CPM Program can use 15 undergraduate credit hours toward the Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies (BMS) Degree through the UNO Division of Continuing Studies. Graduate students can receive six credits toward a Master of Public Administration (MPA) at UNO.

Registration for the 2018 CPM program is now open. The cost of the Nebraska CPM Program is $2,500. Payment plans are available for an additional $250.
