The second session of the online class will begin July 1, and enrollment is currently open at troy.edu/leadership. There is no enrollment cap and the course, exam and all course materials are free. The class is structured to enable students to work around their schedule and study at home at their own pace.
The first class, which began on June 1, had the largest enrollment of any class the university had offered before.
“When the number of students enrolled in the free online leadership class exceeded 1,400, we knew we had answered what was clearly a real need in our nation,” said Dr. Jack Hawkins Jr., Chancellor of Troy University. “Troy University’s mission is building tomorrow’s global leaders and this course is an excellent first step for many students.”

The course content is designed to equip students to thrive in a post-pandemic world, regardless of where they are now in their lives or careers. It explores personal development, leadership style and action, cultural diversity and current events, all through the lens of effective leadership. The course is taught by some of Troy University’s most well-known faculty, including Dr. Hawkins; Dr. Dionne Rosser-Mims, Dean of the College of Education; Dr. Kerry Palmer, Associate Dean of the College of Education and Dr. John Kline, Executive Director of the Institute for Leadership Development.
The course does not require enrollment in the University to participate, but can lead to three credit hours as a general elective or minor course for students who enroll in Fall 2020 or Term 1 at TROY. To count for academic credit, students must pass a challenge exam at the end of the course. Current TROY students who participate must have less than 15 hours of Troy University credit to receive academic credit for the class.
