Academic Program
An academic program, resting on the foundations of appropriate University classes offered for Liberal Arts Core credit, forms the basis of the PLP structure. PLP faculty are drawn from the community, the UNC faculty, and the PLP staff.
In the first year, students are asked to complete MIND 180 (Great Ideas of Western Tradition), and PLP 100, the Foundations of Leadership seminar. In the sophomore year PLP 200, a class that stresses both concepts of change and the role of tradition in culture will be offered. In the senior year, there is a capstone class reflecting on the student's college adventures and the world of work to come.
Study Abroad - Internships
There are in addition competitive scholarship opportunities for juniors and seniors involved in study abroad and internships. Students are also encouraged to take elective classes in PLP-related subjects.
