The Organizational Leadership major consists of coherent courses designed to assist students substantially in their interrelational understanding and skills (coaching and counseling, communicating effectively, managing conflict, and understanding influence and negotiation) and their management understanding and skills (strategic planning, problem solving and decision making, managing performance, and managing change). This growth occurs in a liberal arts setting that uses critical reading, analysis, clear writing and group projects and problem solving.

Central in the curriculum is a commitment to developing and fostering servant leadership. A group of students will undertake their study of Organizational Leadership as a group. That cohort will research and develop a service project that benefits the community. In that setting the students will practice the skills of working with multiple constituencies and implementing a comprehensive multifaceted project.

Classes in Organizational Leadership meet for four hours weekly. One course is taken at a time. The courses last from five to nine weeks. As working and somewhat older and experienced persons, the students are expected to be challenged by, but succeed in, the accelerated curriculum. The program requires active participation.
