With this degree, graduates can become a team leader, mentor, dean of students, principal (with licensure), teacher on special assignment, and much more.

The Organizational Leadership master’s degree teaches students how to improve their leadership style, foster organizational change, and meet the challenges of today’s complex organizations.

This degree can help you move up in your current organization or find a new leadership role.

The Sports Management master’s degree is a good option for students who want leadership opportunities in the sports industry.

Some of these opportunities can include collegiate coaching, high school and collegiate athletic directing, sports team operations, and facilities management.

The Innovative Instructional Leadership graduate certificate helps educators of all levels become more fluent with new instructional practices.

This program explores many of the core instructional issues within the modern classroom including:

• cultural relevance

• student engagement

Instructional design is essential to developing an engaging learning experience, which is why it’s important for teachers to be up to date on today’s teaching practices.

These courses are offered each summer in an asynchronous format.

Like the master’s degree under the same title, the Organizational Leadership graduate certificate helps make students strong leaders in their professional fields.

This program will guide students to become more confident, ethical, and analytical professionals.
