Accreditation

Every Xavier Leadership Center Program Counts!

All Xavier Leadership Center programs are eligible for continuing education units (CEUs). Additionally, through our partnership with the Ohio Society of CPAs, all XLC programs are eligible for continuing professional education (CPEs) for CPAs to maintain their professional competence and credential. CPEs are required by the Accountancy Board of Ohio for CPA accreditation. That means whether you’re taking a Leadership program, a certificate program, or simply enhancing your personal effectiveness, you earn required CEUs toward your CPA accreditation.

Additionally, Xavier is a Registered Education Provider (REP) with the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Several of our programs — Project Management Certificate Program, Six Sigma Programs, Lean Certificate, Introduction to Project Management and Team Facilitation for Project Management programs—are in alignment with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). Every program hour is approved for PDU’s to fulfill the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR).

Waived Credit for Xavier University MBA Students

Participants who have satisfactorily completed the work required to achieve an XLC certificate program and have been awarded a certificate in the past 5 years (or who plan on taking the programs in conjunction with their MBA course study) will be waived 3 elective credit hours (except where noted) that count toward earning an MBA from the Williams College of Business. The following programs are eligible for waived elective credits:

• Certified Management Accountant (CMA) Exam Prep Program (Parts I & II)
