Community Leadership ONLINE degree

Education isn’t just about teaching. There are so many careers in Youth, Family, and Community Services available today!  St. Petersburg College now offers a completely online Bachelor of Educational Studies & Community Leadership (B.S.) degree.  This program does not lead to teacher certification; however, it will prepare you to serve in non-traditional educational positions such as community leader, youth development coordinator, corporate trainer, or director of a non-profit.

 Admission Requirements
  • AA degree
  • 2.0 GPA
Educational Studies & Community Leadership Program Benefits

Students will graduate with workplace-ready job skills like leadership, organization, management, communication, and motivation. Students will complete coursework in diversity, youth & community development, program management, grant administration & resource development, and managing global resources.

The Educational Studies & Community Leadership program is designed to meet many different employment career goals. Especially relevant is the fact that employers often look for employees who have strength in communications, the ability to work well on teams, who are well-rounded in their education, demonstrate leadership skills, and possess excellent computer skills.

Most noteworthy is the fact that the program was designed to meet the needs of individuals who wish to function in an education, youth, family, health, or human services setting.  The Educational Studies & Community Leadership program leads to careers in business and industry, non-licensure education settings, religious, youth & family community settings, non-profits, human resources, and advocacy groups.
