Learn to think critically, synergize the power of your peers and encourage positive change within an organization. Focus your studies to meet your own unique professional and personal goals through the Organization Leadership and Management specialization:

• ORGANIZATION LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
  As the namesake specialization for the MSOL degree, this specialization delivers a deeper understanding and commitment to organizational process excellence, collaborative leadership and forward-thinking change management in today's global society.

It is also possible to complete a MSOL degree with a dual specialization.

MSOL vs. MBA – which one is right for you?

The managerial decision-making approach of the M.S. in Organization Leadership degree is more holistic and collaborative in nature compared to our Regis University MBA, which boasts a more traditional, process-driven approach to business and top-level management. The MSOL approach allows you to interact with others, enables you to draw from your work/life experiences, and allows you to tap into the necessary information to make sound, organizationally supported, ethical decisions. Compare the MBA and the M.S. in Organization Leadership.
