Organizational Leadership is a 36 credit Master of Arts program designed for individuals who seek to create positive change within organizations. The program envisions Leadership as a profession, with distinct skills and protocols that promote stewardship, communication, and a sense of “possibility” as organizational imperatives within all human systems. Colleagues are oriented to leadership principles grounded in trust, cooperation, co-creativity and stewardship on personal and organizational levels. The curriculum is based in a paradigm that supports generative leadership. The program content is grounded in a view of leadership as the outcome of dialogue, relationship and highly developed innovative concepts and use of language.

Colleagues are required to complete an integrated plan of study that includes cohort dialogue, case study evaluation, on-site coaching and mentorship, and a culminating action research project that enables colleagues to apply classroom theory to real-world situations. Central to the curriculum, all colleagues are required to design initiatives that may be applied in their own organizations. Coursework is divided into the Introductory Series (501-503), the Management Series (504-507), the Development Series (508-511), the Leadership Series (512-515), and the Culminating Series (516-517), and study is generally completed during seven residential sessions over a sixteen month period.
