Organizational Leadership, B.A.

The Organizational Leadership degree blends communication, problem analysis, decision making, and strategic planning into a process-oriented educational progression. Courses which include organizational behavior, strategic leadership, personality, ethics and gender roles are taught by educators who understand and apply the modern concepts of a changing workplace in the classroom.

The major is both flexible and inclusive. It combines the liberal arts core, which may include transfer credits, the choice of one of many minors available, and a custom-designed emphasis within the major. Students’ knowledge and experience are drawn upon as coursework and experiential learning explore future trends and workplace realities to make education relevant for the 21st Century.

Due to the nature of its audience, the curriculum for the Organizational Leadership major offered in Maryville’s Weekend and Evening College format varies slightly from the traditional undergraduate curriculum. The WEC general education requirements retain the same focus and content but have different course restrictions and credit hours as affected by the 3–4 credit hour variances. Specific WEC major or minor requirements can be found in any WEC office.
