2 Units · Undergraduate

The Field Study in Leadership is built around a practical leadership experience the student attains or creates. The student must receive instructor approval beforehand. The minimum requirements for a field study experience to be approved are as follows: 1) The endeavor must be one where the student doing the field study is mobilizing and collaborating with a group of at least 3 people (other than the student themselves) to accomplish a common purpose, goal, or objective. 2) The student must spend at least 160 hours leading the endeavor.Through readings, written assignments, small group discussion, and one-on-one coaching, the course helps students process their experience and better understand the perspective of those they hope to lead.
