| "What
strikes me most about the MSOLE program is that
it goes beyond preparation for a new career. It
is highly self-reflective and causes growth and
assessment as a person - not just as a student.
I have been able to apply the experiences in MSOLE
to many other areas of my life aside from the
professional environment." |

Master of Science in
Organizational Leadership & Ethics
The Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership
& Ethics (MSOLE), is designed to prepare today’s
managers to assume tomorrow’s leadership positions
within their organizations. While varied in structure
and mission, most organizations seek leaders who possess
qualities such as the following:
- A vision
which is ethically and morally responsible
- An understanding of the complex problems faced by organizations
in a global economy
- The ability to achieve
solutions consistent with the organization’s mission
and core values
- The ability to motivate individuals
and groups to work toward a common goal
- The
ability to introduce and implement organizational changes
successfully
- The ability to effectively and ethically represent
the organization and its stakeholders
The MSOLE program provides the means by which individuals
may discover and refine these and other qualities required
for leadership in the new economy. This unique program
encourages students to synthesize dynamic models of
leadership, ethics and social responsibility with their
own practical experience. Active learning is the cornerstone
of this program with a focus on small group interaction,
discussions, presentations, research, role-plays and
case studies. The knowledge and skills acquired in this
innovative program culminate in a two-part action research
project. In the first phase students identify, research
and analyze, an organizational problem or opportunity.
During the second phase students propose an action plan
to initiate the appropriate change.
Who
are MSOLE students?
• Experienced
managers, consultants and professionals, in for-profit
and non-profit organizations who want to develop the
skills and knowledge to become organizational and community
leaders.
• Individuals who aspire to become
effective change agents. Individuals who currently have
or are about to assume responsibility for leading others
in a global environment.
Delivery Method
The MSOLE program is delivered in seven week sessions,
3.5 class hours per week, two seven-week sessions per
semester, three semesters per year. This enables students
who take consecutive courses to complete the 36-hour
course requirement in two calendar years.
New students may begin the program in the fall or the spring term. |
