Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and Leadership
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and Leadership (MA-LSL) focuses on a vision of leadership informed by ethical decision making, a sense of social responsibility, and a concept of human behavior as understood and analyzed by some of the great thinkers of the past and present. In a complex world, effective leaders respond with knowledge and skills that include interdisciplinary problem solving, critical analysis, and clear communication. The MA-LSL program prepares students to adapt to complex and evolving organizations (workplaces, communities, nonprofit organizations) and to be effective/ethical participants in wider communities and societies.
The MA-LSL program is designed for individuals who have a strong desire to actively pursue intellectual development for personal and professional application. The MA-LSL program at Madonna University employs an interdisciplinary perspective to leadership in personal, ethical, humane, and organizational contexts. A unique feature of the program is the students’ ability to develop a personalized area of focus, either disciplinary or thematic.
