Foundations of Leadership is a course about how people guide teams, make decisions, and influence organizations. It introduces major leadership theories, leadership styles, and the relationship between leadership and management, with attention to communication, authority, and workplace decision-making.
Foundations of Leadership (Business 205) is a 3-credit self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. When you complete it, the transcript credit can be sent to Columbia Southern University, where it is recognized as LDR 2301 – Leading Teams, a named course equivalency in the CSU catalog.
The course covers leadership, communication, decision-making, conflict management, and ethical leadership skills that are useful in day-to-day work and team settings. At CSU, that credit applies as LDR 2301 – Leading Teams and can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent so Columbia Southern University can review it for transfer. CSU's registrar applies the credit as LDR 2301 – Leading Teams, which means the course is matched to a specific place in the CSU catalog rather than treated as a general elective. That named recognition helps students understand how the credit fits into their degree plan at CSU. CSU allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course is one piece of a larger transfer strategy.
This course is a practical fit for students who want a clear transfer path into Columbia Southern University and need a course that carries named recognition as LDR 2301 – Leading Teams. It can also help students planning around CSU's 90-credit transfer ceiling, especially if they are building toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a course that will transfer as unrestricted elective credit only or who is not planning to use the CSU transfer pathway.
