The program offers students the opportunity to learn both theory and hands-on application through learning experiences that involve lively discussion with faculty and students, applied research, and mentoring relationships with current business leaders. Entrepreneurial skills, organization behavior and transformation, interpersonal skills, team and project leadership, and communication skills and performance management are just some of the dynamic topics covered in the program. The MSOL is designed to teach leadership skills through courses in a broad range of topics such as organization psychology, technology, organizational development, entrepreneurial leadership and communications. Leadership themes are integrated across the curriculum so that students develop a comprehensive, consistent and applicable approach to leading within their organizations. In particular, the program addresses leadership needs in fast-growing entrepreneurial businesses.
Students have the flexibility to work at their own pace in the program.
Though the degree can be completed in two years, students will be allowed six years to complete it if needed.
