“I chose Organizational Leadership because it leaves the door open for so many different opportunities. Whether you are dead set on what you want your future to look like or have no idea what it will look like, this program allows both paths. Those paths could allow you to be a leader, a manager or even a supervisor within any of those occupations.”
