The courses offered in PLC are designed and instructed with the intention of developing your leadership abilities and perspective throughout your undergraduate career. Each course will draw upon lessons you have learned in previous PLC courses and will challenge you to apply your leadership skills in new and increasingly creative ways. The sequence of the PLC curriculum is not meant as a beginning and end to your leadership education, but rather as a broad foundation from which you will continue your leadership growth beyond graduation.
