Program Description
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Leadership Science was developed around a conceptual model of leader development that is grounded in the social and behavioral sciences. The major consists of two components - a major core and major elective for a total of 36 credit hours. The major core seeks to develop in all students a set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to such topics as organizational ethics, cultural diversity, organizational behavior, decision making, and strategic planning as these topics relate to leadership. In addition, students will develop the ability to consume primary research articles for insights on leader effectiveness. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to learn more about their own leadership potential and areas for self-development. In addition to the eight required core courses, students can tailor their program to their interests and goals by selecting 4 LDSP major electives, totaling 12 major elective hours.
