Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership

The Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership degree utilizes three components and prepares students for a career in leadership and management with an aviation emphasis. These three components are:

General education courses 36 credit hours
Organizational Leadership cohort courses 48 credit hours
FAA certificates and ratings 44 credit hours

This program is administered in a group setting, in either an in-seat or an on-line format. FAA certificates and ratings can be used to meet all or a portion of the career component. A Cessna Pilot Center student that has earned a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating, a multi-engine rating, and single engine, multi-engine and instrument flight instructor ratings would qualify for the full 44 credit hours needed in the career component.

This program offers a high degree of structure and an accelerated completion schedule. In this format learning occurs in a community setting in which students are encouraged and supported by the other members of their cohort. They have the opportunity to interact with students from other professions, providing a highly valuable networking opportunity not available in most academic settings. The learning is asynchronous in nature with each course lasting approximately 5 weeks and incorporating a one hour per week on-line meeting with the MSU faculty. Cohorts start whenever there are sufficient students, usually every other month
