Master of Organizational LeadershipMatt Dwyer, M.B.A., Director The Master of Organizational Leadership (MOL) is a program for adult learners designed to enhance professional leadership skills of business owners, managers, supervisors, and other persons in comparable positions in governmental, nonprofit, and community-based organizations. The MOL focuses on providing learners with a variety of human relations, conceptual, and technical skills to prepare these individuals to successfully fulfill the planning, communicating, problem-solving, and decision-making activities of their professional positions. Courses in the MOL will require learners to apply theories and/or models to specific problems and issues or change initiatives in their organizations. Emphasis will also be placed on the development and continuous improvement of the learners’ communication skills through speeches and presentations, papers and essays, and journal-portfolios, in which learners assess their own growth and development of leadership skills. Collaborative learning team projects will involve the study of specific leadership issues, with the expected outcome of proposing solutions to effectively address the issues or better facilitate a change initiative. 39 hours Required: BSNS 613 – Graduate Strategies for Success MOL 600 – Intro to Graduate Study of Organizational Leadership 601 – Leading, Learning, and Communicating in an E-World 602 – Leadership Theories and Practices 604 – Organizational Culture and Politics 606 – Organizational Ethics, Values, and the Law 608 – Developing a Multicultural Perspective 612 – Leading High-Performance Teams 614 – Coaching, Mentoring, and Resolving Conflicts 616 – Leading Change and Transformation 618 – Financial Environment of Organizations 620 – Performance-Based Evaluation Systems 622 – Strategic Leadership: Planning, Problem-Solving, and Decision-Making 625 – Capstone Seminar in Organizational Leadership A student must have a gpa of 3.0 after the program's first three (3) class (MOL 600, BSNS 613, MOL 602).
