Course Sequence

Suggested Sequence for
Completing the Leadership Studies Minor

1. Take COMS 201 - Introduction to Leadership Studies (Ideally in your first or second year at KU; seniors should not take this course).

2. Apply for the minor.

3. If admitted, take the following courses in the next semester or two:

  • COMS 431 - Communication and Leadership

  • One or two credit hours of COMS 532 - Leadership Practicum

  • One, two, or three of the "distribution" courses for the minor (an ethics, community development, and diversity course selected from the approved list).

  • 4. In subsequent semesters, take the following:

  • The remaining credits of COMS 532 - Leadership Practicum (until you have completed all three credits)

  • The remaining courses needed to complete your distribution requirement.

  • 5. Take the capstone course, COMS 531 - Seminar in Leadership Strategies and Applications. (This should be the last course you take in the minor.)
