Academic departments do not offer some electives every semester. Please check with the specific academic department for information. The elective list is reviewed annually so that faculty and students may suggest additional courses that meet the objectives of the Leadership Studies minor. Students may begin taking LED electives in their freshman year.  Several electives can be counted for Basic Studies or the student’s major AND the leadership studies minor.
