Minor in Leadership

The minor in leadership helps prepare students to lead effectively in the 21st century. It provides a broad understanding of leadership in contemporary times and emphasizes civic engagement. Through the required coursework, students examine theories of leadership, analyze methods and styles of leadership, and participate in experiences to develop their own leadership skills. Students will apply their knowledge to community service-based learning at George Mason University and within the greater DC metro area.

The minor in leadership may be pursued concurrently with any undergraduate major.
