APS.BSSL - Bachelor of Science - Major in Service and Leadership

The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Service and Leadership will prepare students to lead through service to their organization, community, country, and world. Service reflects attitudes and actions focused on helping, providing, or giving, often in ways that do not produce a tangible commodity but offer support and assistance to humans, individually and collectively. Service may occur within both public and private sector contexts in a variety of forms such as military service, customer service, charity, mental or physical support, or even functions embedded in human resources or financial services. Anchored in the liberal arts, students will examine what it means to develop the self as leader to better relate to, inspire, and serve others to achieve organizational goals within career contexts of interest to the student. Service members and veterans may capitalize on their military experience and transfer credits from Military Occupation Specialties (MOS), Naval Ratings and the Navy Enlisted Classification System (NEC), and Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) on a Joint Services Transcript (JST), Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript, or Coast Guard Ratings. The program also offers its graduates the opportunity to utilize IWU's credit crossover policy to achieve advanced standing toward a Master of Public Administration, Master of Arts with a major in Organizational Leadership, Master of Science with a major in Management, or Master of Business Administration.
