Division of Leadership & Followership Studies

Indiana Wesleyan University’s Division of Leadership and Followership Studies is one of the first academic units in the world to provide focus on the topic of followership in several of its programs. The university and the division are widely acclaimed in the academic community for being “out front” in connecting both leadership and followership as essential to organizations.
Whatever your career field, leadership always matters! Followership always matters! From associates to bachelor’s to master’s to doctoral study, a leadership degree with rich understanding of followership can help you get to the next level.
