L.EXP 201 - Topics in Leadership

Credits: 1

Topics in Leadership is a class during which a student or a small group of students learn how to function as leaders in specific settings. Students work directly with a professional in a particular field (for example, Residence Life or Campus Spiritual Life) to identify, read, and discuss the literature and guidelines that define professional leadership in that designated area. Distinct from a practicum, this course does not evaluate student abilities to apply information in practical settings; rather, it assesses whether or not a student has processed the knowledge necessary to function effectively (ethically, responsibly, and according to best practices) in settings that will require them to direct others. The course is a one credit offering, but students may take it in three iterations (L.EXP 200 , L.EXP 201, L.EXP 202, L.EXP 203) and up to three separate times for a total of three credit hours. In all cases, the Associate Dean of Academics will approve individual sections to ensure the courses meet objectives and outcomes. Instructor permission required.
