The youth leadership complementary major at Anderson University offers a multidisciplinary approach to both theory and practice for dealing with current issues in the lives of youth in American culture.  

Tomorrow's Youth
Leaders are right here.

As a complement to majors like youth ministries, sociology, social work, criminal justice, and more, it is a great addition for those who enjoy working with youth or in a field that involves interaction with youth.

Program

A complementary major at Anderson University is one that must be taken alongside another major. Students can pair it with a variety of academic endeavors in which they are interested to earn their degree. Complementary majors are often more in-depth than minors, and this academic option will allow students to explore more than one topic of interest during their time at AU.

Classes

Experience

Students working toward a youth leadership development major also complete a practicum and an internship. In the practicum, students train other AU students by using the skills they have learned. In the internship, students apply these skills in a real-world setting, working directly with youth.
