Three words: flexibility, personalization, and depth.
Our flexible curriculum will cover the material you need to know while allowing you the ability to choose courses that interest you on a schedule that works for you.
As you design a path that reflects your personal and professional interests, you’ll work closely with faculty mentors who understand and invest in your goals. You’ll also become an integral member of our community as you build working relationships with faculty, staff, and peers through graduate assistant coaching and research assistantship opportunities.
Lastly, our liberal arts approach to graduate-level curriculum empowers you to understand leadership broadly and deeply. You’ll further hone your critical thinking and analysis skills as you study history, apply theory, contemplate real-world issues, and pose innovative solutions.
Graduate Assistant Coaching
If you were an athlete as an undergraduate, you can seek assistant coaching opportunities in Athletics and combine your love of your sport to your passion for leading others to success.
Research Assistantships

As you design your own academic path and explore your interests, choose from courses like:
