Applied Leadership Skills Minor


Requirements – Minor in applied leadership skills


The School of Education and Human Services (Department of Human Resource Development) offers the following interdisciplinary minor, which is available to all students at the university. The minor in Applied Leadership Skills is a program of study that provides an academic background emphasizing education in leadership, group dynamics and interpersonal processes, ethics, multicultural leadership, and leadership in organizations from a cross disciplinary approach. The aim of this program of study is twofold. First  to allow students to develop an academic understanding of leadership. Then, to assist students in developing leadership capabilities. This program of study may be useful to any student interested in developing skills that will expand the student’s leadership capabilities for application within their communities, businesses or other organizations.

No more than eight credits of course work used to satisfy another major, minor or concentration may be applied toward this minor. Students must meet with the coordinator of the minor to design a plan and complete a Minor Authorization Form identifying appropriately selected courses. The minor requires a minimum of 23 credits distributed among the areas described below. The student must earn a final course grade of 2.8 or higher in a course in order for the class to be counted for the minor.
