Leadership - B.S.

Requirements

The Leadership major is designed to enhance a student's studies in another field. While the Leadership major may be taken as a stand-alone major; however, students are encouraged to consider taking this as a double major or with a minor so as to connect the interdisciplinary study of leadership to a particular field of study.

Admission to the leadership major requires a formal screening process separate from the initial declaration of major. The applicant must:

Have completed LDR-200 with a grade of "C" or better.
Have a cumulative 2.25 GPA (students not meeting this requirement could be admitted on a probationary basis at the discretion of the Leadership Major Committee).
Complete a formal application (available at the Center for Life Calling and Leadership).
Submit an essay on their personal leadership vision and rationale for entering the leadership major.
Participate in a formal interview.

Continuation in the Major

Students must maintain a cumulative 2.25 GPA and a 2.50 academic GPA in coursework required for the major. All leadership courses completed with a "C-" or less must be repeated. The Leadership Studies Department reserves the right to request the withdrawal of any student who in its judgment fails to exhibit the foundational qualities of leadership character. All decisions regarding continuation in the program are based on the recommendations of the Leadership Studies Department.
