Curriculum

Our Organizational Leadership program was built specifically for busy professionals. As an online, asynchronous program, our curriculum is not only delivered in a flexible format but our content was built around the intersection between theory and practice to provide a practice-based approach to education.

The curriculum includes our general education core and organizational leadership courses covering all foundational and fundamental information in business and organizational leadership as well as core communication and writing skills. The degree also includes a combination of free electives and organizational leadership and business selectives so students can self-select key skills they want to focus on or elect to complete a minor to develop a key area of focus, such as human resources, business administration or information technology management.
