Executive Education
The Center for Social Impact Strategy provides a number of hybrid executive programs, each aimed to train and support working professionals in creating a greater impact through their work.
Our Programs
The Center for Social Impact Strategy offers a number of extended, cohort-based education, taking place asynchronously online and on campus at the University of Pennsylvania, over a period of 6-8 months. These extended cohort-based programs — see below Executive Programs in Social Impact Strategy (SIS), Social Innovation Design (XSD),and the Penn Social Impact Accelerators (PSIA) — are non-credit programs, but are rigorous enough to offer to graduates a Certificate from the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania and, in the case of our Executive Programs, eligibility to complete the Master of Science (MS) in Nonprofit Leadership (NPL) in an accelerated format.
