Why Earn a Leadership Degree?

The MBA in leadership is tailored for individuals aspiring to senior administrative and management roles. The leadership courses are designed to cultivate visionary leaders with strong problem-solving abilities.

For those who completed an undergraduate degree, like the Baker BBA leadership program or another undergrad program, and want to take the next steps in their career, an MBA is a great next step in your educational journey.

MBA Leadership Curriculum

The Baker College leadership degree is a 1- or 2-year, IACBE-accredited program consisting of 30 credit hours (15 hours of required courses and 15 hours of elective courses). Our leadership curriculum includes Human Behavior Management of Organizations, team leadership and group dynamics, strategy in a global environment, and more.

Sample Courses

Human Behavior Management of Organizations

Description
Provides students with an understanding of individuals, groups and organizations as a whole. This course considers such topics as alignment of people within an organization, as well as techniques for these individuals to manage and lead more effectively. This course will also discuss how technology, the Internet, globalism and virtual teaming are impacting the work environment today.

Team Leadership and Group Dynamics

Description
Focuses on improving small group performance through effective team leadership and group dynamics. Students examine organizational teams and learn team effectiveness skills while being members of virtual teams. Students also learn to function productively in a group environment. Team performance is studied, and various reasons for team failure are explored. Team leadership is stressed throughout the course, and problems that may occur within teams are addressed. Effective teams are critical for many organizations to move forward. This course helps students enhance skills as both team leaders and participants.

Strategy in a Global Environment

Description
Provides the capstone course for the MBA program. It builds upon and integrates the theories, skills and knowledge from previous courses. Students have the opportunity to make strategic decisions that affect performance and long-term viability of business enterprises. Students will analyze the business strategies of current public corporations. Students will also complete a decision-making business simulation.
