To educate, motivate, and equip students to confront the challenges of leadership in a complex, connected and diverse world.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for Leadership Studies Program, students will:

  • Develop critical and strategic ways of understanding complex human systems, including effective ways to turn analysis into planning and subsequent action.
  • Recognize, understand, and adapt to emotional information in ways that maximize team-building, empathy, perspective-taking, and collaboration.
  • Develop and practice a repertoire of decision-making skills, making optimal decisions based upon the unique social, economic, and cultural factors that characterize the situation.
