Leadership is the process of motivating people to achieve project goals. Leadership varies from management, and not all leaders are managers. Courses within this minor allow students to define leadership, explore the leadership qualities within one’s self and others, investigate the role of leadership in organizations, and assess leadership theories.
Within the minor, students will survey and discuss multiple methodologies used to evaluate teams. Students will analyze how organizational dynamics and structure impact the leader, limit or increase their power, and the ability to perform their job.
All minor courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C-, and a 2.0 grade point average must be maintained in courses for the minor. Two courses must be at the upper level (600 or 700). Only 8 credits may overlap between major and minor.
