Leadership Studies Minor

Our interdisciplinary minor is designed to complement any academic major. Students are part of a group committed to leading change through hands-on experiences and academic opportunities.

You will explore the cultural and contextual factors that influence behavior, decision making and institutional structures.

Learners have an opportunity to put their knowledge into practice through a community-focused action project or work-related case. Critical reflection, case study analysis, group problem-solving and experiential activities enable students to be creative and collaborative for a better tomorrow.

Our courses will equip you to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of leadership theories/approaches
  • Apply leadership and followership approaches to analyze and evaluate the ethical implications of leadership practices
  • Practice skills essential to the leadership process through classroom discussion and experiential learning
  • Analyze how identity and culture impacts leadership in the U.S. and abroad
