Leadership Studies Track

To meet the requirements of the concentration, students must complete either the Leadership Studies (traditional) Track or the American Foreign Policy Track (6 courses total).

Additional and/or substitute electives are offered each year; students should consult the course offerings in the catalog (below the description of the tracks) for the full list of elective offerings in a given year.

Honors:

Although there currently is no Honors route in the Leadership Studies program, it often is possible for students pursuing the concentration to undertake an Honors project within their major disciplines on topics that enables them to develop and explore their interests in Leadership Studies. Faculty in the program are happy to discuss this possibility with concentrators and to help them develop suitable Honors thesis topics. In some cases, depending on the topic and the department involved, a faculty member in the program might also be able to serve as an official or unofficial co-supervisor for an Honors project in another
discipline.
