Leadership Minor
Students majoring in business may pursue the leadership minor. The leadership minor develops students’ leadership knowledge and competencies to prepare them to lead people and organizations to meet the needs of an ever-changing, complex world.
The leadership minor requires 18 semester hours of coursework. Once a student matriculates at TCU, all coursework in the finance minor must be completed at TCU with a grade of “C” or better. No more than 6 credit hours may double count toward the leadership minor, a student’s major(s) or minor(s), and/or certificate program.

*MANA 40343, Leading a Diverse Workforce, is an elective course option only for the NLP Pathway (details below) since this course is required for all other students taking the leadership minor.
NLP Pathway: Students enrolled in the BNSF Neeley Leadership Program (NLP) (click here for program details) may pursue the leadership minor by taking the five required NLP courses (15 semester hours):
Foundations of Leadership | 3 | |
Interpersonal Leadership Skills | 3 | |
Leading Dynamic Teams | 3 | |
The Leadership Challenge | 3 | |
Leading in a Complex World | 3 |
Note: The five required NLP courses are taught in designated course sections for NLP students only. BUSI 40843, The Leadership Challenge, substitutes for MANA 40343, Leading a Diverse Workforce, for students on the NLP pathway to the leadership minor due to The Leadership Challenge being a “challenge project” course unique to NLP.
Students on the NLP pathway to the leadership minor must also complete one elective course (3 semester hours) from among the elective options for the leadership minor.
