Student Learning Outcomes

The Organizational Leadership degree (OL) is a diverse, compressed program that is designed to address the needs of varied learners including: mid-career organizational members who are seeking to equip themselves to advance their opportunities for advancement and less work-experienced learners who have an interest in developing the foundational organizational tools, knowledge and personal skills necessary for organizational success. This curriculum, created with a uniquely Christian worldview, develops and equips learners in ways that are relevant to leadership in a broad range of organizational contexts.

The OL major should achieve the following outcomes:

Effective Communication: Communicate effectively and professionally in various contexts using diverse techniques and contemporary media.
