This course can be used towards the Instructional Dimensions major or minor requirements, or towards the Language Program Administration minor or graduate certificate requirements. The course can only be used towards one of these requirements (Instructional major, Instructional minor, or LPA minor/certificate).
The course provides an overview of the major issues facing Language Program Directors (LPDs) in language and literature departments today, from their roles and responsibilities to their position within their units, the professional challenges they face, and the tasks they have to complete. This will be achieved by providing background and research, by engaging future language program directors in reflecting about attitudes and beliefs about leadership and management styles, offering opportunities for dialogue with Language Program Directors working in a variety of language programs, and participating in applied tasks related to a number of issues examined in the course.
