  • Guiding and Organizing Work
  • Managing Relationships
  • Managing Yourself

This online, workshop-style course is offered via 7 interactive modules with asynchronous and synchronous components over a 4-week period. 

Principles of Supervision is open to all CSUSM employees responsible for supervising others, with preference given to those who supervise five or more employees. Approval from the participant's Appropriate Administrator is required. Participants must be able to attend all sessions. Space is limited per session.
