Overview

Through the College’s 3+1 program, current College of Idaho students are able to earn both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in four years and an additional summer term. The 3+1 program in which graduates earn a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership (MAOL) is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to lead and manage organizations effectively. Students will graduate with the expertise to be a dynamic, influential, and ethical leader in an ever-evolving organizational landscape.

The program is designed for students seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities and advance their career. It will provide students with a deep understanding of organizational dynamics, strategic management, and effective leadership practices.

The 3+1 MAOL is a hybrid program with in-person courses during the fall and spring terms and fully online courses during the final summer term. Our program is 36 credit hours and offers an interdisciplinary curriculum through nine uniquely crafted courses. Through four core courses, four targeted courses, and a practicum capstone, students learn to lead with confidence, make ethical decisions, and drive positive change within their role at any organization.
