Carthage Class

Required Leadership Curriculum

Students will be required to take a course that is focused on leadership. Currently, students have the option to take General 271: Classic to Contemporary Leadership Theory.

Leadership theory has made a significant transformation over time. This course examines the evolution of leadership theory from the classical period through contemporary models. Students analyze these theories and identify the major perspectives, strengths and areas of weakness.

The course provides students with an opportunity to become more self-aware of their own personality characteristics, current leadership strengths and areas of challenge. Students will develop an authentic personal theory of leadership and use leadership theories and models to address contemporary problems in current and actual leadership settings.
