Program Description
The Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) prepares professionals from diverse career backgrounds to innovate and ascend to senior-level leadership roles within their organization. Taught by a faculty of industry experts, students in the MSOL program will learn how to manage and institute change, develop and utilize performance metrics, create stakeholder buy-in at all levels, and other areas pertinent to business organizations. As the demand for leaders who are prepared to handle uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity increases, the MSOL program meets those needs by providing education that embraces a volatile environment by teaching necessary skills to meet complexity head on.
This program is especially unique given its design; students have the opportunity to select two concentrations from eight options to allow for further specialization in areas most pertinent to the student's professional growth.
