Coordinated by the President’s Leadership Program and Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement
The Leadership Studies Interdisciplinary Minor prepares students to serve more effectively in formal and informal leadership roles in campus, local, national, and global contexts. The program offers courses to prepare students to advance in diverse and innovative studies of leadership by building on existing theoretical, empirical, and experiential knowledge. The program provides a structure for students to explore pressing social issues and challenge them to become part of the solution as civically-minded leaders within their communities and professions. As a result, both experiences in, and commitments to, civic engagement, and multicultural competence are required. The interdisciplinary minor refines and expands studies done in the President’s Leadership Program to create a shared understanding of leadership which then expands to academic disciplines through upper-division capstone coursework and integration with the student’s discipline.
Effective Fall 2013
Students must satisfactorily complete the total credits required for the minor. Minors and interdisciplinary minors require 12 or more upper-division (300- to 400-level) credits.
