Class schedule and courses

Who Should Apply?

The Master of Science in Leadership program is designed for those who are currently serving as managers and those who want to lead employees and teams in a variety of sectors, particularly those who feel they do not need the in-depth training in the functional areas provided in a traditional MBA program. Very few students are admitted to the MS, Leadership program without work experience. Those few students admitted directly from an undergraduate program without such experience must meet with the Academic Director to find an appropriate internship or field training to take part in during at least the second half of the program. Students entering the program with the requisite work experience will be exempt from this requirement.
