Intercultural Leadership

Intercultural Leadership

The Intercultural Leadership Program is intended to prepare undergraduate students for employment and leadership positions with the Saskatchewan crown corporations and other organizations. Students complete a 30-credit hour certificate that will prepare them for leadership in an intercultural context and to serve in both the public and private sectors of Saskatchewan and beyond.

Students will discover both the similarities and differences of their own cultural backgrounds and those of other students and will explore leadership from different worldviews through developing knowledge of the ideas, values, and backgrounds of other students. Emphasis will be placed on the value of community resources, including the role of Elders, and the importance of leadership in a community context. This cross-cultural understanding is pertinent to envisioning the broad picture necessary for developing leadership for change.

 

 

A graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 per cent.

Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 per cent or more).

Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.
