Leadership Minor
The leadership minor has been created for qualified students who seek to grow their servant leadership of others across broad contexts. With dual emphasis on both theory and practice, the minor gives students an opportunity to develop and refine their philosophy of leadership and prepare them to be successful as servant leaders. Nine hours of the minor must be 200, 300 or 400 level coursework. Students should be able to:
- Define leadership in various contexts or disciplines.
- Integrate Christian perspectives on current, past and future models of leadership.
- Demonstrate servant leadership through a variety of activities of leading and prompting others to lead.
