Starting next month, Young Harris College will begin offering a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership. The program is designed for adult learners who have an associate’s degree or equivalent credits and are now looking to further their education and advance their careers.
Structured for working professionals, the program is offered 100 percent online, and the courses can be taken at the student’s convenience. Employers may opt to use this program for training purposes as they develop leadership pipelines.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership through YHC can expect to learn the roles of leadership in creating a successful and sustainable organization; successful supervisory management approaches; the requirements for leading an organization through man-made and natural disasters; how to foster an entrepreneurial spirit that leads to creativity and innovation; decision making skills that increase efficiency and effectiveness of operations; and negotiation skills that produce better outcomes with employees, customers and other stakeholders. Additionally, students will complete a leadership action learning research project.
By taking classes with other people who are at a similar phase in their careers, students will be able to discuss issues they face in their organizations and grow their ability to solve organizational problems. Students will learn well-documented and researched leadership principles that they can apply immediately.
