ABOUT THE

LEADERSHIP STUDIES MINOR

Most people only think about developing leadership when it is tied to a formal role. At Leadership Studies, our curriculum starts with the idea that leadership is an activity, available to anyone, at any time! The Leadership Studies course sequence is a 12-credit minor that helps students learn how to practice leadership activity!

This program is open to students from all majors and aims to enhance the collegiate experience by preparing students for career and civic life beyond graduation. The curriculum uses hands-on learning to teach leadership. Students will have structured opportunities to combine contemporary leadership studies theory with coached leadership experiences.

These coached leadership experiences are designed to give students real-life practice in engaging with leadership processes, facilitating change in civic and organizational contexts, and navigating group dynamics to make progress of adaptive leadership challenges. Students receive personalized feedback from professional quality leadership developers that are committed to using evidence-based teaching methods to develop leadership capacity.
