Students who complete the requirements for the leadership track earn the Honors Leadership notation on their transcript and, through application to the Institute for Interdisciplinary Creativity, may count their honors leadership courses toward the Undergraduate Leadership Certificate requirements. To begin planning your Honors course of study, download an  Honors requirements tracking sheet.

The leadership track curriculum is designed to complement student engagement and to involve students in study, reflection, and application of leadership principles. The list of electives includes honors courses that focus substantially on leadership and that are regularly offered. Students select electives from courses already offered in colleges across the university. Through electives, students are introduced to a variety of leadership theories and perspectives.

The track culminates in an internship or study abroad experience approved by the faculty coordinator or Honors College program coordinator. Individualized, on-the-job experience allows students to shadow leaders as they work. Ideally a student would intern with a leader in his or her area of interest. For example, a student interested in business leadership might intern with a CEO. A student interested in volunteer leadership might intern with a food bank organizer. A student interested in governmental leadership might intern with a congressional representative or senator. A student interested in educational leadership might intern with a university president, and a student interested in religious leadership intern with a clerical leader.

Objectives:

• to recognize the main leadership theories
