Students' admission into
The Leadership Studies Program
is contingent on their acceptance into Seton Hall University and the
Stillman School of Business.
The Program
Since its inception in 1994,
The
Leadership Studies Program
has been shaped by our Leadership Council of
corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders from the New
York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
The purpose of the program is to develop in its students a core set of
competencies that will enhance students' existing talents to lead
organizations. These essential skills include proficiency in strategic
thinking, critical analysis, logical reasoning, and oral and written
communication. In addition, the development of the leadership potential
of participating students is emphasized.
Practical business experience is an integral part of
The Leadership Studies Program.
During their Junior year, Leadership students are paired with mentors
from our Leadership Council and work with these corporate executives on
a project related to the executive's company or organization. Through a
joint program initiative with The Career Center, the Program offers
several workshops and events, as well as assistance with securing summer
internships. In addition, guest lecturers are invited each Fall and
Spring semester to address the Leadership students.
The Leadership Council is confident that
The Leadership Studies Program
can set its graduates on a fast track for corporate management positions
or acceptance into the country’s most elite graduate schools.
The Curriculum
The Leadership curriculum consists of courses that have been
recommended and designed by the Leadership Council. The use of
technology such as laptop computers, presentation software, electronic
discussion groups, and virtual classes via mobile computing is
incorporated in all Leadership courses.
Some Leadership courses are courses that are required of all business
students, but which have been modified to meet the needs of the
Leadership students. Other Leadership courses fulfill liberal art or
general elective requirements. The courses comprising the Leadership

Oral
Communication
