Program Purpose
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Organizational Leadership is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the College of Business and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. The degree utilizes a unique interdisciplinary approach to developing leadership skills that recognize trauma and toxic stress as influences on an employee's well-being and productivity. This degree also recognizes the prevalence and impact of trauma within organizations and is designed to develop leaders who have the empathy to keep employees engaged and productive. This program will emphasize innovative leadership practices, demonstrating a sensitivity around humanity. Students will gain a strong business and psychology-focused leadership foundation that will help them to break down complex ideas and behaviors relating to employees and organizations. Key areas of development will focus on leadership in a diverse and multi-cultural environment, decision-making, interpersonal relations, change management, team facilitation, and the six principles to a trauma-informed approach. Students will be prepared for a range of leadership positions in the public and private sector, healthcare, nonprofit agencies, businesses, and the service industry.
Program of Study
The Organizational Leadership courses will be offered in both an online and face-to-face format over a seven week period. Most core courses are offered in the "hybrid" format, which includes 20 hours of classroom instruction and at least 20 hours of online instruction.
