New leadership minor offered

September 9, 2014

Cornerstone

Students can earn a minor in leadership through a new program created by The Northern Leadership Center in UAF's School of Management.

During the past decade, surveys have indicated leadership ability is one of the top five skills employers want in a new employee. With this new minor, students can jump-start their careers by meeting employer needs.

The minor became available in the fall 2014 semester.

To earn the minor, students choose two of the following core courses:

• LEAD/BA 470 — Leadership Theory and Development


• LEAD/BA 472 — Leading Change


• HSEM/LEAD 456 — Leadership and Influence During Crisis

In addition, students choose nine additional credit hours from one of several tracks: Business administration, communication, military science, outdoor leadership or political science.
