Fort Hays State University offers a variety of leadership programs for students interested in enhancing their college careers with a specialized leadership component. Attachable to all university degre e programs and majors, the Leadership Certificate Program adds value to any academic program or career. In an effort to provide a comprehensive leadership educational experience, Leadership Studies provides a learning environment that includes both classroom activities and practical field experience. This allows students to reflect and then act on what they have learned about leadership behavior. |
| Utilizing the small classroom format, this leadership program introduces the student to the basic components of leadership thinking. The program curriculum focuses on the what, how, and why of leadership. LDRS 300 Introduction to Leadership Concepts explores “what” is leadership. Practicing personal and collaborative leadership skills is the “how to” of leadership found in LDRS 302 Introduction to Leadership Behavior. Finally, LDRS 310 Field Work in Leadership Studies focuses on the “why” of leadership and provides the reason for collective action. While designed for the freshman and sophomore level, participants are allowed to enter the program at any point in their undergraduate careers.
