Determine an Area of Focus

Choose an accelerated emphasis.

With Organizational Leadership as your degree goal, you will take a blend of core and emphasis courses. Two of the emphases are accelerated. Self-directed is our most popular emphasis because it's the most flexible. An emphasis in Rising Leadership provides students with the knowledge, perspectives and skills to help them become leaders in the workplace.
