Manhattan College Launches Online Master's Degree for Business Leaders

Manhattan College has unveiled a new online master's degree focused on organizational leadership.

The new master of science degree "incorporates hands-on learning, professional assessments, leadership development plans and skills application with a real-world business, creating an exceptional graduate program that prepares leaders for today's organizations," according to a news release.

The 33-credit-hour program features accelerated curriculum and individual development plans built on personal leadership assessments, nine courses and a capstone project that includes work with a real business.

"This degree is unique in that we take what the student brings to the table — experience, knowledge, leadership skills — and we help them develop a leadership plan based on their specific strengths and areas of improvement. As the student learns and grows, we help them adjust their development plan to suit their leadership goals."
