    • Abstract:
      This article describes an innovative upper-level leadership studies minor course that was created to provide a transdisciplinary-type of experience for students. Seminar and student-led in format, the general framework of the course, Leadership in 'Major' Contexts, involved students identifying topics from their own major disciplines and critically applying leadership theories, models, and concepts to them. In addition to reinforcing the idea that 'leadership is for everyone and every discipline,' students observed that, despite differences in their academic studies and intended career paths, the leadership process is actually quite similar across them. Borrowing from Super's self-concept theory of career development, the course also helped students further explore their vocational identities as they transitioned from collegiate to post-graduation careers and leadership.
