MINOR PROGRAM IN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP - SCMIN0134

Now, more than ever, the world needs principled, inclusive, and empathetic global leaders. The Minor in Global Leadership will develop students’ collaborative global leadership skills and capacity to critique what is global leadership and how this concept is understood and challenged in diverse disciplines and contexts. Studying alongside students from all three campuses, with diverse backgrounds, students will critique leadership approaches applied across teams and networks, and prepare for a global workplace post-graduation. Through a combination of online and in-person learning, students partake in small group work, community engagement, and a global-partnered capstone project, and gain formal recognition for global leadership development.

Enrolment in the Minor in Global Leadership is limited. Students will be able to apply to the program after completing 4.0 credits, and must have achieved an average GPA of 2.7 across their best 3.0 credits taken (e.g., 6 half-credit courses, or 4 half-credit and 1 full-credit course).

In addition, students must submit an application as described at the Minor in Global Leadership website, and will need to include an unofficial transcript.

The Minor in Global Leadership will be available for Fall 2023 enrolment. At UTSC, students will be able to request the Minor beginning in the Spring of 2023.

Global Leadership Courses

GLBC01H3 - Global Leadership: Theory, Research and Practice

Whether corporate, not for profit or governmental, modern organizations require leaders who are willing to take on complex challenges and work with a global community. Effective leaders must learn how to consider and recognize diverse motivations, behaviours, and perspectives across teams and networks. Building upon content learned in GLB201H5 and focusing on applications and real-life case studies; this course will provide students with knowledge and skills to become global leaders of the future. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to adapt culturally sensitive communication, motivation and negotiation techniques, preparing them to apply new principled, inclusive, and appreciative approaches to the practice of global leadership. In preparation for GLB401Y1, this course will include group-based activities in which students collaborate on current issues of global importance. An experiential learning component will help develop skills through interactions with guest lecturers and community partners. Community partners will present real-world global leadership problems to the class, which students will work to analyze and solve. At the end of the term, students will meet in person for final group presentations to deliver key solutions to community partners. This course will be delivered primarily online through synchronous/asynchronous delivery, with specific in-person activities scheduled throughout the course.
