| The Master of Business
Administration in Leadership This program is designed to meet the needs of upwardly mobile professionals in business, government, health, and social services who seek to advance their careers. More than that, however, the program centers upon those characteristics that develop and promote leadership. Within the leadership framework, the program stresses decision-making and managerial skills. Guided by experienced faculty who bring theory and practice into the classroom, the discovery of new concepts and methods is enhanced by other graduate students whose varied backgrounds contribute to what some have referred to as an exciting learning laboratory. Early in the program, the MBA in Leadership calls upon each student to develop a foundation paper that encapsulates a goal to be realized. Each subsequent course includes a module as to its application to leadership. Over and above the requirements of the course, the student is expected to expand the foundation paper by applying new knowledge developed through each course. The capstone course, Strategic Management Seminar, offers traditional strategy and policy concepts and provides the opportunity to demonstrate how course offerings throughout the program interact with the leadership goal as identified in the original foundation paper. |
