Program Description
- Continuing & Professional Studies
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.
