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 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, communications, and strategic planning as these topics relate to leadership. In addition, students will develop teh ability to consume primary research activities for insights on leader effectiveness. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to learn more about their own leadership potential and areas for self-development.
