Additional Information

The Master of Arts in Social Entrepreneurship and Change program will prepare students to work in social activism and entrepreneurship, to become better leaders in their industry, or to pursue doctoral studies. Designed for both working professionals and full-time students alike, this online hybrid program equips students with the critical knowledge, skills, and resources to lead and effect change in their organizations, local communities, and across the globe. As social entrepreneurs, students learn to examine complex social problems and to create sustainable market-based solutions. As impactful leaders, students learn management practices such as formulating strategies, implementing programs, and creating marketing campaigns. In the second year of the program, students participate in a global exchange experience in a developing country. The program culminates in a two-term capstone project, during which each student researches and designs a social enterprise, writes a business plan, and presents their validated idea to social entrepreneur leaders in a Fast Pitch event. The Doctor of Philosophy in Global Leadership and Change program prepares students to become visionary leaders and agents of change in strategy and policy for nonprofit, government, for-profit, and academic institutions. This program is ideal for mid-career professionals who are focused on research. Our highly selective Ph.D. program employs the researcher-scholar model of doctoral training, in which academics and research are conjoined. Three years of rigorous coursework incorporate national and international trips, providing students with a global perspective on leadership and policy and access to prominent global experts, followed by a one-to-two-year dissertation process, where each student will contribute new knowledge to the field of their selected topic of research.
