Overview

In addition to completing the core courses in he Community Leadership programme University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), students take four elective courses that speak to their experiences, interests, and aspirations. Students work with the Programme Director to choose their Programme Pathway: a coherent set of electives from the Community Leadership Skills Courses as well as UMBC graduate courses in a wide range of academic departments.

Capstone Course

The required Community Leadership courses feature an applied interdisciplinary curriculum, culminating in a capstone course that integrates the theory and practice of collaborative leadership and builds students’ relationships with effective practitioners. The capstone course builds on prior courses and experiences in the Community Leadership programme to engage students in applying their academic knowledge, practical skills and professional relationships to a significant project they develop with their community partner.
