Leadership

Interdisciplinary Preparation for the Leaders of Tomorrow

Are you the type of person who questions what is and want to become the type of person who can inspire and motivate others to achieve what could and should be? If you are, then the leadership major is right for you.

Leadership majors accept the challenge of leadership in an increasingly complex, global, and fast-paced world. With strong backgrounds in communication, business, creativity, policy, decision-making, innovation, strategic planning, and project management, our graduates are prepared to lead change that improves the lives of individuals, and provides vision for the future growth and well-being of public, private, government and community organizations.

The leadership major is interactive. Enhance your academic experience with discovery learning opportunities such as independent research, service learning activities, study abroad programs, and internships. As part of your regular coursework, you will work with outside agencies and organizations to meet leadership challenges.

You will have special opportunities to participate, along with faculty and graduate students, in the Biden School's research and public service programs, such as Summer Fellowships as a Public Policy Scholar and Legislative Fellowships that offer credit for working with elected government officials. Consider study abroad programs  to enhance your global perspectives on leadership. An Honors Degree is offered.
