The Minor in Leadership Studies
The CSLD utilizes a cross-disciplinary approach to leadership education at URI. Leadership is an ever changing discipline with theoretical roots in education, psychology, business, communication studies and in human development. Therefore, our approach to teaching leadership within the leadership minor has to be unique.
At URI, we are among only a handful of colleges and universities in the nation that offer a Minor in Leadership Studies. Ours is worth taking a look at because we offer:
Access: Any student, in any major, can enroll in an introductory course.Approach: All courses utilize a variety of teaching methods but ultimately include some form of experiential learning, practical application, and reflective learning (The Outcomes Inventory and Senior Porfolio).
Achievement: Employers, now more than ever, are seeking candidates with exceptional skills in the areas of interpersonal and group management, problem solving, critical thinking and effective communication. We can help with all of the above.
Advising: Our staff, advisory board members, and alumni are available to work with students and groups throughout the year. Let us get to know you, and your strengths, in order to get you on the right path at URI.
Ultimately, we seek to bridge these areas – through research and education, training, developmental opportunities, and experiential learning opportunities – in order to offer each student an individualized approach to leadership development.
