Global Leadership Studies Courses (GLS)
GLS 1100. Introduction to Global Leadership (3). This course will enable one to understand leadership competencies, theories, and frameworks to further one's own self-awareness, values and purposes. Special attention is given to understanding the challenges facing global leaders in the 21st century.
GLS 3100. Leadership Across Cultures (3). This course compares leadership across cultures and countries. Students will explore the relationship between culture and leadership styles, ideas of cultural diversity and globalization, and implications for leading within and across national borders and global regions. The course also explores the challenging but increasingly important task of working across cultures in cross-functional teams composed of person from different professions, cultures, ethnicities, racial identification, and religious and/or social backgrounds.
GLS 4015. Global Leadership Studies Capstone (3). The capstone course is designed to be the culminating work for the Bachelor's degree in Global Leadership Studies. With the guidance of the instructor, students will design a project to demonstrate their mastery of leadership competencies, theories, and models. Students will consider their own personal approach to global leadership and will integrate knowledge from across several disciplines and also their study abroad experience as they prepare an analytical study of leadership issues that arise when groups with shared goals seek to cross borders between cultures, countries, and world regions, and when project teams are composed of diverse cultural backgrounds. Students will include scholarly research, attention to ethical frameworks, and critical analysis in their project.
