Now, more than ever, the world needs principled, inclusive, and empathetic global leaders. The Minor in Global Leadership, facilitated in partnership between multiple Faculties across all three U of T campuses, develops students’ collaborative global leadership skills and capacity to critique what is global leadership and how this concept is understood and challenged in diverse disciplines and global cultures. The Minor integrates theory and practice, and provides a forum for students to engage across disciplines and geographical contexts. The Minor includes interdivisional student experience, community engagement and completion of a globally partnered capstone project.
Enrolment in the Minor in Global Leadership is limited. Students can apply to the program after completing 4.0 credits (but no more than 8.0 credits at the time of course enrolment for Fall 2025) and must have achieved a minimum average GPA of 2.7 across their best 3.0 completed credits.
