LEADERSHIP STUDIES MINOR

Students can receive a Minor in Leadership Studies by completing 18 hours in leadership and related courses.  The requirements to complete the minor include a Principles of Leadership course, a Senior Capstone Leadership Seminar, and 12 additional hours made up of courses that are related to the study or process of leadership. Those additional courses might relate to the contexts of leadership (e.g., understanding groups, organizations, or communities), skills associated with leadership (e.g., communication, management, facilitation) or the process of leadership (e.g., ethics, group decision-making).  The Leadership Studies Minor takes an interdisciplinary approach and allows the student to draw from a variety of disciplines to study the process of leadership.

Courses counting towards the student's major cannot be counted for the minor.

Other courses can be added to the list of elective courses with the approval of the Leadership Studies Minor Advisory Board and the Chair of the Department of Human Development and PSychological Counseling.

Substitutions may be made with the approval of the director.  All courses counting toward the minor must be at the 2000 level or above.
