The BA in Organizational Leadership is an “in career” degree focusing on developing within students the personal characteristics and professional competencies needed for success and career advancement within their chosen vocation and/or place of employment. Organizational Leadership draws from a cross-section of disciplines with the common focus of practical application in today’s highly mobile and demanding workforce. Built upon a leadership core that is applicable to leading within a broad range of settings, students then coordinate with their advisor to design their academic program based on their chosen leadership path. This major challenges them to expand their professional potential within their unique calling and future plans. Thus, students are better equipped to advance within their current setting while being more prepared for future vocational options.
