Applied Experience

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

The Applied Experience in the Leadership and Organizational Performance program challenges students to integrate knowledge acquired through coursework, apply it to a supervised field experience, and reflect on their personal leadership development as well as an organization's performance. The intent of the applied experience is to allow the students to synthesize learning while expanding or deepening content knowledge. Students will develop a critically appraised topic (CAT) (and assess the quality of the research on this topic to write an applied research paper or case study in the area of their choice. In addition, the student has the opportunity to develop and refine the necessary competencies and skills for proposed career objectives in a field of interest through reflective leadership assignments.
