The ICSC One-Year Graduate Certificate in Creativity and Change Leadership and Master's Degree for Distance Students
"The International Center for Studies in Creativity graduate certificate in creative problem-solving and change leadership is hands-down the best personal and professional development program I have experienced. Working side-by-side with current and emerging leaders in this cutting-edge field is priceless. I learned an incredible amount during the time in Buffalo, and returned home with renewed energy and passion to encourage new creative solutions. And the best part is that the distance courses provide a way to extend the experience and learning year-round!"

Graduate Certificate for Professionals
Creativity and creative problem solving are now widely recognized as essential leadership skills in the 21st century. That is, leadership success in the face of an increasingly complex world requires an ability to resolve open-ended challenges and to spot new opportunities. The purpose of this State University of New York graduate-level certificate is to provide professionals from all sectors with the skills and knowledge to become creative leaders. This certificate is available both on campus and for distance learners.
Master's Degree for Distance Students
Many professionals who successfully complete the graduate certificate program (see paragraph above) choose to complete the master of science degree program, as all courses in the certificate program apply toward the M.S. degree. To earn the M.S. degree, students must complete 15 additional credits.
