Leadership Minor

The minor in leadership develops leaders who can address the complex and adaptive needs of global systems and intercultural communities. This program works across departments and sectors to guide students in applying leadership skills to real-world contexts. Students will use the knowledge from their fields or lived experiences to understand how to most effectively make the changes they want to see in the world. By pairing leadership development with their studies, students will be able to both articulate their unique contribution to the whole and be able to enact change in their communities and disciplines in equitable ways.

Learning Outcomes

Leadership is a broad field bringing together a variety of approaches, texts, values, and methods of interpretation. Students who successfully complete the minor in leadership will gain the skills/tools necessary to articulate and apply specific leadership theories to:

• Develop an awareness of self through reflective practices, and the ability to articulate one’s own beliefs, assumptions, and values.
• Collaborate with diverse stakeholders to create ethical, sustainable, and just solutions grounded in the common good.
