Business
Leadership program
The business leadership program at The
University of Scranton provides students the opportunity to
develop special skills for business leadership. The program
includes specific sections of key business courses taught from
a leadership perspective, leadership seminars, a
mentor/internship program, and an independent leadership
project.
This highly selective program accepts 15
sophomore students each spring. The students then begin a
two-year curriculum the following fall semester.
Applicants are judged on the following
criteria:
- leadership
experience and/or potential
- self-assessment
and motivation
- interests
and hobbies
- faculty
recommendations
- grade
point average of at least 3.3
Some courses are taught with a special
emphasis on business leadership by faculty chosen for their
exceptional teaching and their interest in the leadership
concept. The internship program, in which students are paired
with business leaders who serve as mentors, and the
development of business projects by students that demonstrate
leadership ability, provide practical, hands-on experience.
The program culminates with a portfolio
prepared by students on the essence of leadership as derived
from participation in the program. The students defend their
concepts of leadership before a faculty board.
