Leadership and Change Management

The Master of Science in Leadership & Change Management equips students with the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to succeed as leaders in their organizations and their career.  Students develop a personal leadership portfolio, gain hands-on experience as a leadership coach, and complete a leadership or change management project with their own employer or another organization of their choice.  The focus throughout is on development of human relations skills, the so-called “soft”skills that are so challenging to learn and so essential for true leadership.  The MS-LCM is designed for working professionals with two or more years of experience beyond their undergraduate degree.

The Master of Science in Leadership & Change Management is an individually-paced program that can begin in the fall, spring or summer and be completed in as little as twenty months.
