Minor in Leadership in Integrated Learning

The Minor in Leadership in Integrated Learning is available as an elective to undergraduate students whom the college has identified as Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars.  The minor is administered by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.  The Director of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars Program coordinates the minor on behalf of the Dean.

The minor provides an opportunity for students to develop a leadership identity that reflects integration of ideas across social, economic, environmental, and cultural domains in addition to disciplinary learning. Students participate actively in the learning experience by developing individualized plans of study and assessment through course work in the minor. Students develop a variety of inquiry strategies though exploration of service learning, social justice and diversity, community building, problem solving, meaning making, and transformative systems thinking. Leadership, learning experiences, and reflections are documented in the student’s learning e-portfolio and are presented during the culminating experience.

With the approval of the department that administers the student’s degree program, courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
