The Leadership Studies Minor is a valuable academic program available to all undergraduates regardless of major or college. The Leadership Studies Minor provides academically based leadership training that incorporates:

• Understanding the broad context of leadership theory;
• Gaining a historical context of leadership;
• Developing core leadership competencies;
• Practicing and observing leadership experiences.

By including the Leadership Studies Minor with a chosen field of study, undergraduates will develop essential skills that prepare them for future work in fields such as community organizing, business, city government, and social services. The minor offers an important credential that distinguishes students in the job exploration process.

The minor involves 16 credit hours of coursework that include a foundations course, three electives and a capstone course. 

Students enrolled in the Leadership RAP, Presidents Leadership Class (CLC), INVST Community Studies and all ROTC units should talk to their respective programs about how these programs can become integrated as pathways to the Leadership Studies Minor.
