Program Information

Degree Offered

MBA/MSL - Master of Business Administration/ Master of Science in Leadership and Organizational Change

Format: Online

Program Description:

The dual degree Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Leadership and Organizational Change program (MBA/MSL) is specifically designed to integrate key elements from both existing programs to provide a degree option for students.
The primary focus of most existing MBA programs is to provide the student with an overall understanding of the key functional areas of an organization with a heavy emphasis on systems and quantitative approaches. As such, most MBA programs do not provide the student with an adequate understanding of the human behavior-leadership side of an organization. On the other hand, students focusing on the behavioral-leadership side of an organization can benefit from an enhanced understanding and appreciation of the key functional areas of organizations.
This joint degree program is designed to provide the student with the best of both worlds, i.e., a solid background in the key functional areas of an organization, coupled with a major focus on effective leadership and change management knowledge and skill.
