The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, through its Leadership Studies Minor – Honors, offers a 13-hour curriculum of applied leadership education within the collegiate setting. This minor is open to students of every major. This experiential approach to leadership education (i.e., knowledge, disposition, and skill development) combines seminar, experiential learning, and lecture formats with mentoring and portfolio-based self-assessment, skill development and application in a capstone project – either self-directed or faculty guided experiential learning course.
