Pre-Organizational Leadership

Successful students in organizational leadership need critical thinking skills, people skills, and the ability to communicate well, both verbally and in writing.

Like students who graduate with other liberal arts majors, graduates with a BA in organizational leadership are prepared for further academic or professional study and for many different career options in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. Organizational leadership students have pursued careers in business management, communications, nonprofit organizations, Peace Corps and government. Organizational leadership students also go on to law school, master's in business administration (MBA) programs, and graduate programs in communication, psychology, and other liberal arts disciplines.

Minors do not apply to associate degree programs. If you are enrolled in a transitional associate degree program, you will spend most of your classroom time acquiring the foundational courses for your four-year baccalaureate. Generally, you will select your minor when you transfer to your four-year institution.

Associate degree programs at UC Blue Ash College (UCBA) are designed to facilitate transfer to a baccalaureate program, while allowing the student to begin a college program with smaller class sizes and individual attention from well-qualified faculty. UCBA is conveniently located and has lower fees for tuition, technology, student life and parking.

The program allows for maximum flexibility, with courses offered days and evenings. Tutoring labs in study skills, writing, and math are available at no additional cost for students needing extra help.

To qualify for a degree, you must fulfill the requirements of the program from which you expect to graduate and must have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average. It is your responsibility to take the courses necessary for graduation and to meet the UC residency requirements.

You must complete an application for degree, usually the semester before you expect to graduate. You should see your advisor for specific information well in advance of your final semester.
