Help bring rapid change that matters. The Master of Arts in Leadership concentration in Organizational Innovation & Change provides a completely unique learning experience. You'll work with others to make organizational changes that keep people at the center.
The Master’s in Leadership’s low-residency programs offer students the opportunity to live anywhere and work full-time. The majority of our coursework is online with weekly evening classes and once-a-month virtual Saturday sessions. Students are only required to be on campus for intensive residencies three days at the beginning, middle, and end of the program.
We believe that students learn by doing. Every course in the program will have you apply what you learn in a real organization. Rather than learning how to do something in the future, you learn by doing now.
Please visit the GradCAS website for more information and to apply.
At Pacific, the professors know your name and care about your success. Our faculty help students develop skills that matter to transform their careers. Our small learning community allows you to build relationships that matter. You won't usually find that in larger university environments.
You'll start by building your own leadership skills. Then you'll develop skills for helping groups to change. The program culminates by helping you to support organization-wide change.
Not every situation calls for the same solution. You'll learn proven methods for facilitating change in a variety of situations. The program focuses on human-centered approaches like design thinking. You'll also learn tools like process consulting, program evaluation, and coaching.
