Grow your leadership competencies

Self-Leadership

Assess your skills and compile a plan to establish and enhance your own leadership skills and attitudes. Develop the tools and insights to better understand how individuals think, feel, view the world, make decisions, and relate to others.

Relational Leadership

Develop the awareness to identify the various relationships that exist within an organization. Learn how to create a workplace culture that is productive and inclusive.

Organizational Leadership

Learn to identify the needs of an organization at different stages, and then apply the appropriate leadership practices. Build the confidence and abilities to lead change and motivate individuals to achieve common goals.

Learn through courses and hands-on experiences

Improve your people skills to effectively interact and lead in various situations in any industry. These are the "people skills" that organizations are seeking to manage change, build diverse and equitable environments, improve performance, and navigate ever-changing workplaces.

Learn to utilize an evidence-based decision-making process for an organization, its employees, and the culture. Data-driven decisions provide clearer objectives and goals, and come with less risk for you and the organization. In your capstone project, you will research and find solutions to a problem you have chosen that aligns with your profession. 

During the program, you will interview a respected leader from an industry that aligns with your career goals and interests. Gain insight and valued expertise on the leadership practices and theories that do and don't work within organizations.

The MSL program utilizes a cohort format with two start dates during the calendar year. Being a student in a cohort provides you with more opportunities to learn, collaborate, and network. The 2024 cohorts are scheduled to start in January and June.
