Those who are interested in earning a masters degree in business, but are unable to commit to a traditional class schedule, may benefit it from enrolling in online education. Distance learning provides prospective students with the opportunity to further their education while being able to keep up with other responsibilities, including work or family.
Saint Joseph's University recently announced the addition of a masters in organizational development and leadership (MODL) online degree program. Students who earn this degree may find job opportunities in a variety of industries, including project management, human resources, finance, banking, information technology, healthcare and government.
This new opportunity will combine building leadership skills and understanding organizational dynamics, which will better equip students with the skills needed to lead sustainable change. Students will also learn about organizational development theories, models and tools, leadership styles, team dynamics, cultural competence and effective communication.
FeliceTilin, director of the new degree program, stated that "offering the organizational development and leadership masters degree in the online format opens up this exciting program to potential students around the country and the world."
Throughout the past year, enrollment in online education has increased by 17 percent, according to research from the Sloan Consortium.
