East Tennessee State University's Learn2Lead program features two unique and innovative leadership preparation opportunities: an Interdisciplinary Minor in Leadership Studies for undergraduates and a Graduate Certificate in Community Leadership. Leadership Studies minor:
Leadership is a skillset most employers seek and professional schools desire. It is not just for business majors or those seekin
g political office. Leadership is about personal effectiveness and sustained success at work, at home and in community. The skills learned and practiced here are an excellent foundation designed to help students move quickly into mid-management positions in health care, nonprofit, human services, education, business, government, and even as entrepreneurs. Graduate Certificate in Community Leadership:
Community Leadership is a four-course graduate program that provides key leadership skills and credentials for those working in any field including: including government, civic, health care, nonprofit, education, financial, small business. Skills are especially designed for those who are in or seeking to become a director, division leader, team leader, or community organizer. As a graduate program, your instructor will teach, coach, and provide learning experiences for you. Assessment is centered on the integration of content knowledge and analysis with application of skills. As graduate students and working adults, we recognize the importance of quality and convenience in choosing an institutional learning partner. Graduate leadership courses use an online delivery with occasional synchronous Web-ex or free conference call-in meetings. However, some assignments and learning experiences require group interaction and feedback in real time. In addition, the ability to connect “in person” with the instructor brings added value to the leadership coaching relationship. Learn more: www.etsu.edu/learn2lead
