Academics

The Leadership Studies curriculum exposes students to leadership theory, models of followership and team development. In addition, students learn about the ethical challenges of leading and following while examining the contextual aspects of leadership. We invite you to share your insights and explore the complexities of leadership in a highly conversational and dynamic setting.
