Organizational Leadership

Organizational leadership students enjoy working in team-based environments and desire to make an impact in their organizations and communities. They understand how organizations function, have strong critical thinking and problem solving skills and are self-, socially-, and globally-aware. These characteristics enable our students to succeed in a variety of careers, including human resources, sales, banking and public service.

Like students who graduate with other liberal arts majors, graduates in organizational leadership are prepared for further academic or professional study and for many different career options in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors.

Graduates are employed as:

•         Human resource recruiter
•         Marketing manager
•         Bank financial loan officer
•         Retail manager
•          Loan processor, financial institution
•         Sales representative
•         Local government agencies
•         Hospital administration supervisor
•         Restaurant owner/manager
•         Airline customer service manager
•         Education administrator
•         Employee relations representative
•         Training and development manager
•         Health care administrator

Organizational leadership students may also choose to go on to law school, master's programs in business administration, human resource management or graduate programs in communication, psychology and other liberal arts disciplines.
