The Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Program offered by Utah Valley University is a rigorous, nationally accredited leadership development program designed for professionals in public and nonprofit sectors. Structured as a 12-month hybrid program, it totals 300 instructional hours, blending three weeks of asynchronous online content with a full-day, in-person Application Lab each month.
Each monthly module focuses on a core competency essential to effective public service management, including ethical decision-making, inclusive stakeholder engagement, systems thinking, strategic planning, conflict resolution, project leadership, and organizational change. Participants progressively build a leadership portfolio, culminating in a Capstone Showcase and Reflection, which applies their learning to a real-world challenge.
This program supports workforce development priorities by equipping participants with practical tools and leadership strategies grounded in public service values. The cohort model encourages professional networking and collaboration across government and nonprofit organizations.
Enrollment is open to current and emerging leaders in state, local, and federal government agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations. For agency billing or group enrollment inquiries, please contact schapple@uvu.edu.
