New for 2026–28: UTK Leadership Track

We are offering an optional LSP seminar pathway for students to earn a UTK Leadership Certificate from UC Berkeley while completing their Clear Credential requirements. The UTK Leadership Certificate is a 4-unit online and synchronous program offered by UC Berkeley Extension (UNEX).

For more information, please attend one of our information sessions or reach out to Jessica Evans at j.evans@berkeley.edu


Note

LSP is also available to those who live and work in the Los Angeles area. Known as LSPLA, the program is offered in partnership with the Principal Leadership Institute at UCLA Center X and features the same commission-approved program content and components, but with online Seminars and coaching based in LA.

Please use the Apply Now link above to apply for either program. For more information about the LSP program based at UCLA, contact Coordinator Chuck Flores at chuckfl@ucla.edu
