Leadership and Organizational Management Major
The major in Leadership and Organizational Management (LOM), an interdisciplinary curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, provides expertise in leadership, human dynamics, and organizational management for business and public administration. This interdisciplinary program takes a systems approach to the problems, principles and practices of management and leadership incorporating conceptual and theoretical knowledge. The curriculum is organized into thirteen sequential courses (5 weeks per course), and designed to provide knowledge as well as practical application in Leadership and Organizational Management studies. Students must achieve a grade of C- or better in each course.
