LEADERSHIP SEQUENCE

IN THIS PAGE:

The Leadership Studies Program is a multi-disciplinary program focusing on the nature of leadership and followership. It addresses the scientific, philosophical, and literary approaches to the relationship between leaders and followers in political, business, and other settings. The Leadership Sequence is coordinated by the Leadership Educator in the Kravis Leadership Institute.

The Leadership Studies Program and the Leadership Sequence are designed for students interested in pursuing a career involving the scholarly study and practice of leadership, who feel that an understanding of leadership would be helpful to them in another career, or who have a casual interest in the subject. Completion of the sequence will be noted on students' transcript.

Interested students should contact Kevin Arnold, Leadership Educator at the Kravis Leadership Institute, or Professor Murphy or Professor Riggio for information and advice about the program.

Sequence Requirements

The Leadership Sequence requires five courses, distributed among four categories of courses:

  1. Core Requirement: 2 courses
    The courses in the Core reflect current scholarly approaches to the study of leadership in the disciplines in which leadership is a substantive area of study
  2. Ethics Requirement: 1 course
    The courses meeting the Ethics requirement provide a philosophical and moral context in which to judge the nature of appropriate leadership
  3. Breadth Requirement: 1 course
    The courses listed under the Breadth Requirement offer material on leadership that enhance a liberal arts perspective on the subject
  4. Experiential Requirement: 1 course
    The Experiential courses provide direct experience in positions of leadership and "hands-on" applications of leadership theories and techniques
