The mission of the department of Organizational Leadership is to integrate theory and practical application in developing leaders for roles in the dynamic organizational environment of the 21st century. This goal is accomplished through an interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes an understanding of people, groups, and the global community within an organizational framework.

Majors in the department combine the study of leadership with a career concentration. The programs focus on understanding and working with people within organizations and the practical application of leadership concepts and theories. Students’ creativity and competence in the administration of human resource systems, team design and facilitation, and the influencing processes that define leadership are developed through these programs.

The department offers the following academic programs, which are described in Course Descriptions  of this catalog.
