Organizational Leadership and Supervision (OLS)
Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and Supervision
The organizational leadership and supervision program educates and develops graduates who are career-ready for leadership roles in business, industry, and service agencies. It is a highly individualized, practical, "real-world," people-oriented approach to the practice of leadership and supervision. One-on-one counseling enables the student to individualize the program. Two-thirds of the program is composed of required courses designed to provide necessary supervisory and leadership skills such as functional ability, planning, organizing, and controlling. The other third consists of electives chosen by the student from a broad range of technical subjects. This enables the student to acquire the technical knowledge necessary to function effectively in today's high technology society. Above all, the program is thoroughly practical.
Students are encouraged to take a planned program of technical skill courses that will provide a meaningful background for their future careers. Organizational leadership and supervision students are required to experience the world of work as it is, rather than as it is imagined.
Organizational leadership and supervision graduates are employed in areas such as supervision, personnel, training and development, customer service, field representatives, plant layout, production control, operations management, process control, programming, project engineering, purchasing, quality control, sales, and technical writing.
