This advanced credit course is designed for students who are interested in leadership beyond the college level. This class provides students with the opportunity to explore current leadership trends and to broaden their understanding of the concepts of leadership in an increasingly diverse and complex world. Students will apply these concepts in a structured and supervised practicum designed by CAPS staff.
The practicum is an excellent opportunity for established leaders to give back to the campus community by assisting new leaders in their development. Established leaders will take their own skills to a new level.

Some topics include:

• Evolution of Leadership Thought
• Eastern and Western Perspectives of Leadership
• Changing Paradigms of Leadership
• Multi-cultural Dimensions in Leadership
• Motivation, Morale and Empowerment
• Building Communities and Support Systems
• Marketing Leadership

EDEA 460 integrates leadership theory with practical experiences through class exercises and a practicum. Students earn three credits through a combination of two class hours per week plus a structured practicum designed to help students develop leadership skills. Spaces are extremely limited due to the experiential approach of the course. Prerequisites: EDEA 360 or equivalent, and consent of the instructor. Look for the course listing in the Schedule of Classes under Educational Administration.
