Combine theoretical knowledge gained in classes with hands-on experiences in internships and field placements – with most students starting in their first year! As a Leadership Scholar, expect to be cared by, and to care for, your peers and future colleagues in the field.
Eligibility requirements include maintaining good academic standing within major and a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Students who fail to meet these requirements are given one trial semester to return to eligibility.
