Objectives - This program seeks to prepare ethical,
imaginative, effective leaders for the twenty-first century
through a course of study emphasizing both theory and
practice. Successful leaders need to have an education
that will enable them to deal humanely and intelligently with
the complex problems of a rapidly changing world. The
classes in this academic minor will introduce students to
prominent theories in leadership studies, train them in such
important life skills as communication and critical thinking,
develop them as leaders with a Christian perspective and
system of values, and motivate women and men to serve
society through positions of leadership.
The curriculum is designed to emphasize inquiry,
understanding, skill development, practice, and reflection.
In-class study, class exercises, service projects, leadership
workshops, and leadership development programs provide
an environment where students can study and develop an
understanding of leadership.
Courses can also be taken as electives for students who
are not interested in completing the minor.
Leadership Studies minors must earn at least a “C” in all
leadership studies courses or retake the course the next
time it is offered. Grades lower than a “C” in leadership
studies courses will not count toward a leadership studies
minor.
