When you enroll at Susquehanna, you’ll be paired with an advisor and application tool to guide you in your course planning and scheduling. The following is an excerpt from the complete course catalog. Enrolled students follow the requirements of the course catalog for the academic year in which they declare each major and/or minor, consult with their advisor(s) and the Academic Planning Tool.

The leadership minor is designed to focus attention in a concentrated way on a key goal of a Susquehanna education: preparing students for a lifetime of leadership in a diverse and changing world. The minor allows students to explore the challenges faced by leaders, both today and in the future.

While pursuing the minor, students will examine the qualities needed to serve as ethically trustworthy and competent leaders in a wide variety of venues, such as business, government, community, and the non-profit sector. To complete the minor students are required to serve in at least one leadership position on campus (e.g. as a resident assistant, a member of the Student Government Association, president of a club, officer of a sorority/fraternity, captain of a sports team, participant in ROTC, etc.).

Minor in Leadership

Students minoring in leadership complete 20 semester hours with grades of C- or higher, including LSHP-502 Leadership Seminar and at least one course from each of the areas listed below. Minors are also encouraged to complete a Leadership practicum with a grade of S as part of their 20 hours. While LSHP-502 is required for the minor, the other LSHP courses (100, 200, 500) can be used to count toward any of the three areas.

Double-counting restriction for interdisciplinary minors

Only 4 semester hours of this minor may be double-counted toward the student’s major.
