Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership (Online) - Careers
The University of South Alabama offers an online bachelor’s degree in organizational
leadership. Employers on the upper Gulf Coast represent a range of industries (maritime,
aerospace, logistics, engineering, automotive, construction, petrochemical, hospitality
and more). The fully online bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership attracts
both traditional and nontraditional students who may be established in a job, but
need a four-year bachelor’s degree to move into a leadership role.
“Quote about this program and how this is a wonderful opportunity for prospective
students.”

Classes help to prepare you to lead hiring, training and diversity initiatives in

Through classes on diversity and cross-cultural relations, you learn to work in foreign

You may serve as the go-between for a union and an employer, and study contract negotiations
and conflict resolution.
