The McDonough Leadership Program

The McDonough Center for Leadership and Business, endowed by a gift in memory of Bernard P. McDonough, has been designed to allow students to study leadership through a multidisciplinary liberal arts perspective. The chief mechanism for this study is the McDonough Leadership Program, which involves students in varied activities.

A student’s participation in the McDonough Leadership Program can take several forms:

• Major in Global Leadership Studies
• Minor in Leadership Studies
• Certificate in Leadership Studies
• Engineering Leadership Certificate
• Teacher Leadership Certificate

The specific requirements of each of these programs are listed under Leadership in the Undergraduate Programs of Instruction section of the Catalog. Course work includes both academic courses examining leadership analytically and courses that introduce students to leaders of local, national, and international repute. Some courses, like Foundations of Leadership, will be offered with the Leadership prefix (e.g. LEAD 101 Foundations of Leadership). Other courses having a significant leadership focus will be offered by departments across the entire campus (e.g. POLS 210 The Presidency and Executive Leadership).

Admission to the McDonough Leadership Program for the major, minor or certificates is competitive and requires a separate online application (https://www.marietta.edu/mcdonough-application-form). Contact the Office of Admission, (800) 331-7896, (740) 376-4600 for application information, or visit the McDonough website (https://www.marietta.edu/mcdonough-center).
