Taught by a faculty of industry experts, students in the MSOL program will learn how to manage change, increase knowledge of organizations regarding human resources and performance metrics, and other areas pertinent to business organizations. As the demand for leaders, who are prepared to handle uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity increases, the MSOL program meets those needs by providing education that embraces a volatile environment by teaching necessary skills to meet complexity head on.

In real-world practice, trained organizational leaders apply these insights to:

• Create and communicate a vision for their organization
