Leadership, Public Service and Law

Leadership, public service and Law

Students who enroll in the Leadership, Public Service, and Law concentration have a desire to promote the common good and will have the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation needed to effect meaningful change in society. This concentration fosters teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and an understanding of law, governance, justice, and community engagement. 

Leadership is the cornerstone of progress, empowering students to navigate complex challenges, inspire others, and develop effective programs. By studying leadership theories, decision-making strategies, and organizational dynamics, students develop the confidence and strategic mindset to lead in government, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.

Public service focuses on civic engagement, policy analysis, and service at the local, state, federal, and international level.  Whether working in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, or grassroots movements, graduates of this program will be equipped to craft and implement policies that improve lives and promote justice.

Law provides the framework for justice and order, ensuring that societies operate within ethical and legal parameters. By studying legal principles, constitutional law, and regulatory policies, students gain a foundation for careers in law, criminal justice, and human rights advocacy. Understanding the law enhances students’ ability to protect civil liberties  and contribute to a just society.

Students will gain practical experience by attending hands-on workshops, taking part in mentoring programs, and developing student-led initiatives.  This concentration prepares students for impactful careers in law, politics, government, and nonprofit sectors. It is ideal for those who aspire to lead with integrity, serve the public good, and shape the future through action, law and policy.
