Program Overview
The accelerated Master of Organizational
Leadership (MOL) program at St. Ambrose
University is an interdisciplinary graduate program
of study designed to develop skills and nurture
abilities for effective leadership. Effective
leadership is essential to the success of any
endeavor in both the public and private sectors.
Businesses, government agencies, elected offices,
charitable organizations, and churches, to name a
few, need valuable leaders who can identify, promote,
and accomplish organizational goals and
objectives. In this context, MOL program students
will become more aware of their own
strengths, attitudes, and behaviors, and the
effects they have on others as leaders. The MOL
program also provides individuals currently in or
seeking leadership positions with the conceptual
and analytical skills necessary for successful leadership.
The Master of Organizational Leadership
program reflects St. Ambrose University’s commitment
to promoting community service, personal
growth, and practical professional training
opportunities for students.
Mission Statement

of tools and skills for effective leadership in
