Abstract

Given PG's Missional emphasis on enabling professional skills to achieve career goals, it is important that we learn more about how to assess the transfer of learning from the classroom to the workplace. Further, given the changing demographics of PG students, it is critical that we be aware of the different impacts one course can have on a population of diverse learners. It is widely assumed that leadership can be taught effectively to adult online graduate students. It is also assumed that one course has a similar impact on a variety of students. This study explores those questions. The study is a pilot, with 13 subjects, for a larger potential study involving 101 subjects. Students write a paper describing their view of leadership and their leadership practice at the beginning and end of a twelve week leadership course. While the majority of the students indicated that their personal definitions of leadership and practice had changed, it did not change for all.
