Overview

A goal of this new Leadership (Interdisciplinary Studies) program at Old Dominion University is to facilitate adult students to complete their degree and as such, there is inherent flexibility in transferring existing credit.

Learning outcomes

The program will draw required courses (36 hours) from a variety of disciplines, including Communications, Criminal Justice, Engineering Management, Environmental Health, Finance, Human Services, Management, Public Administration, and Philosophy. Because it is interdisciplinary, it appeals to wide range of adult, non-traditional students who might have vastly different interests and who enter the program with some college credit but may not have completed a degree. The required, nine credit-hour core of coursework in Interdisciplinary Studies will provide an opportunity for highly motivated students to identify and research a problem of potentially high, local and national significance, and for which to provide new knowledge and wisdom to decision-makers.

Graduates of this undergraduate degree will possess the core liberal arts skills and knowledge such as reasoning, communications and analysis that are crucial to the challenges employers, organizations and governments face. The academic and critical thinking skills taught through this Leadership curriculum are valuable on the job as well as navigating modern changes and challenges. For example, the AAC&U reports that workers are likely to face many transitions including some of these factors during their careers
