The minor in leadership helps prepare students to lead effectively in the 21st century. It provides a broad understanding of leadership in contemporary society and emphasizes civic engagement. Through the required course work, students examine theories of leadership, analyze methods and styles of leadership, and participate in experiences to develop their own leadership skills. Students demonstrate what they have learned through community service-learning to Mason and the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

The minor in leadership may be pursued concurrently with any undergraduate major.

This program of study is offered by New Century College .
