Minor Requirements
Undergraduate David Rapalski works with Graduate Assistant Jessica Weber to plan his Leadership Studies academic schedule
The leadership minor is an 18 hour program, composed of three core courses and nine hours of upper division electives from at least two different fields, no more than 6 hours in one field. To receive credit for the minor, students must earn at least an overall 3.0 GPA in the core LDR courses and at least an overall 2.5 GPA in the electives. Students unsure of whether they wish to pursue the full minor, yet would like Leadership Studies as an elective course, should enroll in LDR 201, the initial core course, or an LDR elective course. LDR 201 is designed for freshmen and sophomores, and as a stand alone experience provides an excellent foundation in Leadership Studies.
Required Leadership Core Courses (9 credit hours)
- LDR 201 Principles of Leadership (3 credit hours)
- LDR 301 Problems in Leadership (3 credit hours, PR: LDR 201)
- LDR 401 Leadership in Action (3 credit hours; PR: LDR 201 and 301)
One or more sections of LDR 382 Readings in Leadership are offered each fall and spring semester. Up to three different sections of these focused topic, 1 credit hour courses may be completed to satisfy a portion of the nine credits of required elective courses. For students who have completed LDR 201 and 301, LDR 493 Special Topics in Leadership courses are offered from 1 to 6 credit hours, often including study abroad.
- Students should always check the most current course schedule for availability
- Other approved substitute electives for the Leadership Studies Minor are available with permission of the Director of Leadership Studies, and may require prerequisite coursework.
