Leadership Scholars Program

First Year Admission: Incoming first year students are invited by Admissions to apply based on all aspects of the application for admission, including academic progress, curriculum, essay, letter(s) of recommendation, interview, co-curricular involvement and experiences.

Sophomore Year Admission: At the end of the first semester, first year students who have earned a G.P.A. of 3.3 and have engaged in campus leadership opportunities may apply to the program for the fall of sophomore year.

Academic Course Requirements: Complete the course EC250 Leadership Theory and Practice (3 credits) the first year of enrollment.

Annual Campus Leadership Requirements: Leadership Scholars will demonstrate leadership abilities through documented participation in campus and community organizations each year they are in the program. Each year a student is in the Leadership Scholars Program they are expected to (1) participate in two “one day” approved leadership activities and (2) participate in one approved “short term leadership activity.”

Additional Campus Leadership Requirements: In addition to the annual leadership requirements, Leadership Scholars will be expected to participate in two “long term leadership activities” between the time they are accepted into the program and graduation.

A sample of what meets the requirements for each of these categories is found here.
