» Leadership Studies Minor

The Leadership Studies minor at Chapman University exemplifies the institution’s commitment to "building character, transforming lives."

This program offers Chapman students a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding and practice of leadership, emphasizing not just preparation for work but education for life.

Students can apply their leadership skills in real-world situations by combining classroom learning and theory with hands-on exercises, workshops, and retreats.

Leadership Studies Minor Learning Outcomes

Our leadership training promotes four essential learning outcomes:

  • An understanding of the theory and practice of leading as a way of serving and values-based leadership.
  • Increased self-awareness (leading as a way of both being and doing).
  • How to leverage individual differences and unite around a common purpose to create high-performing teams.
  • Critical thinking, ethical practice, and social responsibility.

Fostering Community and Leadership Excellence

Our dedicated faculty are committed to inspiring lasting learning and fostering a genuine sense of community within the program. The Leadership Studies minor is an ideal complement for students seeking a practical addition to their major while fulfilling general education (GE) requirements. It is especially suited for those motivated to positively impact others through their work and lives—students who share a passion for learning, leading, and serving.
