The Organizational Leadership and Learning degree provides students the chance to learn, grow, develop, and apply these professional skills through on-the-job training. Degree highlights include:
The Organizational Leadership and Learning (OLL) degree program is a flexible degree focused on applied learning and workforce education integration. OLL is 120-credit hour undergraduate degree. Students will have the opportunity to customize their individualized track in consultation with their program advisor. A cornerstone of this degree will be the requirement for students to complete 21-credit hours of experiential learning experiences, which may include paid apprenticeships, internships, clinical rotations, and/or practica and focus on occupational outcomes, such as job and degree integration responding to industry, workforce, or organizational demands.
The OLL degree is an applied degree with the goal of preparing students for a range of career options using the more traditional four-year degree path or through collaborative paths with community colleges and technical schools.
