Leadership for Community Education and Human Learning (B.S.E.)

The Leadership for Community Education and Human Learning (LCE) program offers a personalized, applied approach to leadership development in community, nonprofit, and human service settings. Our innovative program emphasizes learning beyond the classroom, through career exploration, community engagement, and a professional practicum that connects your academic work to real-world impact.

From the very beginning, you’ll take courses designed to build leadership, communication, and educational program development skills. You’ll explore how people learn across the lifespan and apply that knowledge in contexts such as youth programs, adult education, cooperative extension, advocacy organizations, and more. As you move through the program, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience through an internship, and tailor your studies with elective specializations aligned to your career goals.

Upon graduation, you’ll be prepared to take on leadership roles in organizations that promote learning, development, and community well-being. You’ll also be well-positioned for graduate study in education, public administration, social work, or community leadership. Our students build strong networks with community partners, and many graduates move directly into roles that make a difference in the lives of others, whether locally or globally.
