What is University Studies—Leadership Studies? |
The University Studies degree is an innovative degree that provides students at
Texas A&M the flexibility to combine several areas of interest into a customized
degree plan. Students who select the Leadership Studies Area of Concentration seek
a major where they can investigate questions surrounding leadership and the changing
world. In this Area of Concentration, students examine, in an academic setting,
the development of positive leadership experiences and how education effects the
development of successful leaders. The Leadership Studies Area of Concentration
realizes a difference between socialization of a leader and leadership studies.
Students will learn that many successful leaders obtain their leadership skills
from practice and have experienced "socialized leadership." These leaders develop
from success and failure during experiential practice. A collegiate leadership studies
program demonstrates an intentional exploration of leadership theory to enhance
the socialization process. It provides the environment where students study the
scholarly discipline of leadership theory and enhance the process to successful
leadership development. In the leadership studies concentration, students learn
theories and models of the leadership process and they use analysis and evaluation
to synthesize multiple leadership theories.
The most important aspect of the Leadership Studies Area of Concentration is that
the student is able to place leadership theory into the contexts found within their
2 Minors. Leadership scholars agree that leadership theory should be taught with
a contextual application. Therefore, the University Studies—Leadership Studies degree
provides an excellent opportunity for students to select academic contexts (2 Minors)
to practice leadership theory found within the Leadership Studies Area of Concentration
courses.
Graduates in University Studies—Leadership Studies pursue careers in for profit
organizations, social & public service and politics & law.
