Option in Leadership
www.trentu.ca/politicalstudies
The Option in Leadership enables undergraduate students to accumulate knowledge in the area of leadership studies, and to highlight this academic concentration with the formal Option designation. This initiative is associated with Trent University’s Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership. Fundamentally, leadership is a social relationship that concerns how a group of people organize themselves to achieve certain common goals and objectives, usually (but not always) via the direction of a specific person or set of persons. The Option in Leadership aims to increase student education and training in the area of leadership and enable learners to signal their leadership capacity to future employers. To leverage the existing resources as well as reflect the interdisciplinary nature of leadership studies, the Option in Leadership is designed to reach across academic units and allow students to gain credits beyond any one single department or program.
Students are advised to plan course selection carefully in order to acquire needed prerequisites (see individual course descriptions).
Students may choose to graduate with only one of the Option in Leadership or the Certificate in Political Leadership.
Students who have fulfilled the requirements for an Honours or General degree in any subject may graduate with an Option in Leadership if they have successfully completed the following 4.0 credits:
