Online education is growing in popularity with today’s students, allowing those who have careers or families to earn a higher degree while still taking care of their other responsibilities. Advancing their education through distance learning provides future degree holders with the opportunity to be eligible for promotions or increases in salaries.

Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia is one of the many schools adding new options for prospective students, launching a new masters in organizational development and leadership degree program. This new opportunity will help students build leadership skills and understand organizational dynamics.

Those who obtain a similar degree can benefit from job opportunities in many industries, including project management, human resources, finance, banking, information technology, healthcare and government. Coursework that includes organizational development theories, models and tools, leadership styles, team dynamics, cultural competence and effective communication will equip students with a better understanding of how to lead sustainable change.
