This minor is offered in the College for Women and the College for Adults.

The interdisciplinary Leadership Minor lays a strong foundation for leadership development during students’ time at St. Kate’s and throughout their future careers and lives.

Through academic study and practical application, students explore the many forms leadership can take and how it contributes to personal growth and meaningful change. Core coursework introduces essential concepts such as ethical leadership, influence, managing within a diverse workforce, team building, and effective change management.

Students can apply their hands-on leadership experience by engaging in high-impact practices, including internships, research, community-engaged learning, field work, clinicals, or advanced seminars. These applied experiences help students develop the confidence, skills, and integrity needed to lead with purpose in diverse professional and community settings.

Through reflection, leadership practice, and teamwork, students build skills in adaptability, ethical decision making, and collaboration.
