Description
RIT’s community development and leadership degree is an innovative, interdisciplinary program that provides you with leadership, interpersonal communication, research, and data management skills, all of which are needed by dynamic leaders at the helm of 21st century organizations. The major ensures that you will develop the skills and capabilities you will need to lead and manage communities, as well as not-for-profit organizations, advocacy groups, and other entities. You may also customize your course work by choosing one of seven concentrations to further develop your knowledge and expertise in a particular area of community management, engagement, or concern. Concentrations are available in business management, community health, deaf community advancement, deaf leadership, political science, psychology and human services, and public policy. The major is open to all students (hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing).
