Graduates leave with both the ability to apply organizational leadership theory and the problem-solving skills needed to manage an organization. During the student’s senior year in the undergraduate BS Organizational Management (BSOM) program, students will begin taking graduate MSLM courses, which will count toward both degrees, thereby, providing an accelerated path to completion.
