The success of today’s businesses and organizations demand leadership that is informed, forwardthinking, and able to optimize the capabilities of knowledge-based workers and the solutions they create. The Organizational Leadership and Supervision degree develops exactly this set of skills. Students learn about leadership, the creation of organizational vision and value, and the development of human resources while leading technological change.

The Organizational Leadership and Supervision degree provides a long term, empowering approach to the practice of leading people rather than the short term, command and control approach to utilizing human resources. Students learn about leadership, the importance of organizational vision and values, developing human resources, and managing technological resources in corporate, government, nonprofit, or community organizations. Leadership skills in goal setting, time management, verbal and visual communication, and leadership values and abilities are developed through relevant real world applications.

In addition to meeting the 42 semester hour university core curriculum requirement, students must complete major core courses, and directed emphasis coursework.
