About program
Are you interested in pursuing a leadership role in an educational setting outside of the traditional school classroom? As a student in the Literacy, Learning & Leadership, B.S., program, you will study coursework that prepares you to lead and impact diverse communities in formal and informal educational settings. As a graduate of the program, you will understand that literacy is more than just reading, writing, listening, and speaking — it involves communicating in ways that encourage collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Graduates understand that learning happens all around us and that leadership is much more than managing people and speaking from a podium. Many of our graduates go on to research and graduate degrees.
If you see yourself in an educational leadership role outside of the traditional classroom, consider the Literacy, Learning and Leadership major. Communities are always in need of individuals who have expertise on how to make learning accessible for all. Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Literacy, Learning and Leadership fill lead roles in a wide range of fields, including volunteer programming, nonprofit work, youth services, and community education and outreach. The undergraduate experience teaches students how to design traditional and digital instruction that turns complex ideas into understandable and accessible content and empowers individuals from diverse backgrounds to engage in learning outside of the traditional school setting. Students also earn academic credit and gain valuable work experience through internships at a variety of local, national and international organizations.
