A number of schools offer courses in leadership or service. East Tennessee State University is developing an interdisciplinary minor that combines both. The Leadership Studies minor is being formed in a cooperative effort between the communications and management departments and the campus office of student life and leadership. Students in the minor incorporate service-learning into their studies in a variety of ways, including through courses and internships. In addition, students are paired with community agencies and required to maintain a portfolio of their service experience. The goal of the minor is to engage students in their community and involve them in the subject of their studies, thereby making their education more meaningful.
