Spring 2024 Psychology Adjunct Professor
PSYC 294-3 Psychology of Leadership Thursdays 5:30pm-8:30pm

Prerequisite(s): PSYC 101 or WRIT 105 or CMST 101 or HONP 100. This is a service learning course that allows students to develop a sophisticated understanding of leadership from both a theoretical and practical point of view. Students receive in depth information on historical and contemporary psychological theories of leadership. They participate in assessments of their own leadership competencies and capabilities based on theory and research. They then learn to apply, assess, compare, and critically evaluate theory, research, and assessment tools through a multi-week project with a community partner in which they have a chance to observe and practice leadership. Students combine theory and practice through a series of critical reflections that result in students articulating their learnings about leadership, the practice of leadership in the civic environment, and themselves as leaders. This course is not recommended for students who successfully completed PSYC 120. Meets Gen Ed - Social Science Perspectives.
