New Program Provides Leadership Insight The newest program in the College of Professional Studies lays the groundwork to build organizational leaders for business, industry and beyond. The Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership debuts in spring 2005 at all of Indiana Tech’s locations. The degree was developed specifically for adult students with some college and some supervisory experience. The course work is targeted toward people with education or experience in the functional aspects of business who want to prepare themselves to move ahead as a team leader or manager in any type of business or organization. The curriculum is built around development of four key competency areas: operations and administrative competencies, human relations and interpersonal competencies, decision-making and critical thinking competencies, and communication competencies. “We chose to focus on these competencies because skills in these four areas will prepare Indiana Tech graduates for leadership success in any type of workplace, whether it’s a for-profit corporation, nonprofit organization, or public institution,” said Jim Schaffer, associate professor of business administration. “This organizational leadership degree provides a great deal of career flexibility, because these skills can be applied to any industry, from health care to manufacturing.” Required courses include new offerings such as OL 3000 Employee Development, OL 3100 Business Ethics, OL 3200 Managing Organizational Change and Continuous Improvement, and a capstone course in organizational leadership. “Leadership is all about influencing, motivating, and creating change,” Schaffer said. “Graduates with this degree will be prepared for the challenges inherent in those three tasks.”
