Why Choose Our Program?

Jacksonville University's Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) degree blends business, communication, and social sciences, with an emphasis on management and leadership. Our program is an alternative to the traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA), with a key difference — organizational leadership forgos some of the intense quantitative studies of economics and finance in favor of human resources and leadership theory. The MSOL degree has been called "the business degree for non-business majors," as it is well-suited to skilled professionals who want to develop their management knowledge and abilities.
