INDUSTRIAL AND TRADES LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The major purpose of the program is to provide individuals who have successful-
ly completed requirements for a journeyman's certification, with sufficient gener-
al education and specialized instruction so that they may be prepared to assume
leadership positions in trade and industrial settings. It is anticipated that individ-
uals who successfully complete the program will enhance their supervisory and
managerial skills for the industrial and technical crafts and trades. This kind of
background should enable them to move into positions of greater responsibility in
industry and trades.
Society appears to need leaders working in the industrial setting who have
achieved broad education at the baccalaureate level along with apprentice train-
ing and work experience. A sizable group of individuals who either did not have
the opportunity for a college education after completing high school or did not
take advantage of such opportunities, will become acquainted with the academic
community to the mutual benefit of themselves and higher education.
The Program
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Trade Leadership Program consists of
four portions:
A. General Education
B. Career Development
C. Specialized Course Work
D. Electives
The intent of the General Education and Open Electives portions of the program
is to introduce the student to broad generalized areas of man's knowledge.
Through them one is exposed to many diverse aspects of mankind's intellectual
explorations.
The specialized course work provides considerable freedom in choosing those
subjects which may be of greatest current and potential worth to the student in
terms of career aspirations. Within this section, students choose courses from
three areas, which deal with various facets of their management development. In
addition, a required senior seminar integrates and "pulls together" knowledge and
insights gained in previous portions of the programs, and bring them to bear on a
variety of problem situations frequently encountered by those in leadership posi-
tions in trades and industry. Open electives provide opportunities for students to
pursue additional work in the specialized areas and/or gain additional knowledge
in the broad fields of general education.
Career Development provides recognition for the successful completion of the
requirements of journeyman's certification in selected certified trade or craft
unions. It is thought that such educational programs and experiences appropriate-
ly contribute to the purposes of this degree.
