Major in Organizational Leadership

Bachelor of Science - Program offered at the Lake Geneva, Wisconsin Campus Only.

The current business environment demands ethical, knowledgeable leaders who can create a forceful vision, quickly translate that vision into action, and lead others in the process of innovation.
The major in organizational leadership emphasizes the development of skills necessary to understand the human component of any organization in constant change. Students will learn the analytical and communication skills necessary to be a leader in an organization where education for change is a motivator for individuals at all levels of the organization.

The major is intentionally designed as a multi-disciplinary program. Business programs in both the private and public section can no longer just include a series of business courses. Leaders for today's corporations must also have mastery of the liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes communication, problem solving, innovation, teamwork, and the human relations that ultimately drive any organization.

Each student will be placed in an experiential internship for hands-on practice of leadership skills. Upon completion of the program, the student will have a multi-media portfolio that demonstrates the student's integration of theory to application by combining coursework and experiential content. The portfolio will be a useful tool for career planning and job interviewing.

NOTE: This program is available only at the Lake Geneva, Wisconsin campus.
