3.2: Future Leaders
Train future leaders in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary methodologies Other Information:
Graduate and professional training must address that more baccalaureate students than ever are continuing for graduate degrees,
more employers are requiring technological sophistication and advanced training, and the expansion of knowledge within and
between disciplines is requiring more study than ever before to solve important and complex problems. To train future teachers
and leaders to be able to meet these challenges requires not only building disciplinary depth but developing the skills to
synthesize different types of knowledge and apply them to real-world problems. While it will be important to sustain disciplinary
strengths, there is increasing demand for programs that cross the traditional boundaries of disciplines and departments, programs
involving scholarship that has traditionally been classed as "applied" rather than "basic", and programs geared to the needs
of specific clientele.
