Both the public and the private sectors demand competent leadership for their increasingly complex organizations.

This program integrates the study of effective leadership  to provide students with a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities related to leadership. The program is designed to strengthen students’ abilities to create a compelling vision, translate that vision into action, and lead others in creating new ventures or in revitalizing existing ones. In short, the program is designed to create a new generation of leaders—characterized by passion, integrity and competence.

Organizational leadership enhances students’ potential for leadership positions in careers such as public management,  community  service, health  promotion,  law, and human resource management.
