PRLC Course Alternatives

The PLC academic curriculum is designed intentionally to encourage students to explore different levels of their own leadership and that of those around them.  The desired order of course sequence is as follows: PRLC 1810, PRLC 1820, PRLC 2820 or ENLP 3100, PRLC 3810 or PRLC 3800, LEAD 4000 (optional for PLC- required for LSM).  All PRLC courses are required of PLC scholars.

To maintain the integrity and rigor of the program, and the leadership education and development intended for all PLC scholars, a new policy for substituting a course through petition has been implemented.

Please email and meet with PLC Academic Director Dr. JulieMarie Shepherd Macklinif you are planning to take one of the following courses so we can track your completion and so the course can be reviewed against PLC learning standards and outcomes.

As of January 17, 2017 there is a new policy in place for students to substitute an alternative course for the required courses in the PRLC curriculum with a course petition.  If you cannot take the prescribed PRLC courses, or one of the courses listed above, you must petition the course to PLC and the LSM (if you are pursuing the minor). The new policy will require students to provide specific documentation and reasoning for alternative courses.
