Do I have to be in a student-leadership role on campus to be in the Leadership Development Program?

No. Being a student leader on campus is not a prerequisite to being in the program. This out-of-classroom curriculum is designed for any student interested in learning more about leadership and/or growing as a leader.

Why should I minor in leadership? How will it help me in my major?

The leadership minor is a great complement to any major and offers students an opportunity to explore leadership through a biblical worldview. These classes will help you realize your own personal style of interacting with people as well as introduce to you new ways of thinking about social situations and leadership. What you learn through the leadership minor will enhance the way you lead in your chosen field of interest.
