The Master of Leadership Development is a 36-credit interdisciplinary professional graduate program that blends the social and behavioral sciences with ethical studies to develop outstanding organizational and community leaders. A series of cornerstone, competency, and context courses are required to provide all students with a common body of knowledge. All students must complete a capstone course (LEAD 582 Social Entrepreneurship and Community Leadership) that provides students with an opportunity to enact what is learned in the course work in the context of promoting a positive change in the community. The program is geared to individuals in mid- to upper levels of management and administration who have at least five years of related professional experience.
