You will explore the academic research about leadership and will apply your leadership practice as a CU Boulder student.
You will develop a better understanding of the social, political, and cultural factors influencing our diverse world in this BA/MA Concurrent Degree Program allowing an efficient and rigorous path toward earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Ethnic Studies and a Master’s Degree in Education in just five years.
