Hone your leadership skills and impact the lives of veterans and their families. Both private and public sectors seek to hire those who can lead organizations and demonstrate relational, cultural and institutional perspectives to better serve veterans and their families in the community while bridging the civilian and military gap.
The BA program in organizational leadership with a concentration in veterans, society and service offers a skill-driven curriculum to prepare students to be excellent leaders and better aid veterans and those who serve the veteran community. Students learn to integrate leadership theory and practice in organizational leadership courses. They learn the skills and knowledge needed to lead diverse teams, innovate, solve problems, communicate effectively, assess leadership and organizational effectiveness, manage resources, and use emerging technologies in organizations. Students also acquire the skills necessary to engage with veteran and military communities: being sensitive to others, counseling, facilitating group discussion, identifying appropriate resources and providing support to others.
