  • Program Description*
    The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Organizational Leadership (ORGL) degree prepares students to focus on the theories, practices, issues, and specific ramifications of leading an organization. The multidisciplinary curriculum provides an understanding of management, administration, human resources, ethics, and technology related to today's complex organizations in the public, private or non profit sectors. The Organization Leadership degree has options that allow adults to earn college credit through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) for college-level knowledge gained from relevant work experiences, professional training, military service and professional certificate programs. These experiences may be documented through transcripts from the American Council on Education (ACE), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), departmental challenge exams, or academic credit earned through the successful evaluation of a portfolio that contains sufficient information and documentation to affirm college-level learnings. The online Organizational Leadership program is ideal for traditional students who wish to take advantage of online course delivery, as well as for working professionals, military members, transfer students and others seeking flexible routes to degree completion. The program is delivered fully online through eMajor. eMajor is a University System of Georgia collaborative program that has delivered flexible, online degree programs through multiple USG institutions since 2012. The purpose of eMajor is to provide quality, innovative, high-demand programs through traditional institutions. Developed and maintained by committed faculty and dedicated instructional design professionals, each course is consistent in quality, design, and accessibility standards and taught by University System of Georgia faculty. A cornerstone of eMajor is the inclusion of prior learning assessments in several programs, shortening time to degree. eMajor is a USG collaborative program which offers fully online, high-demand career degrees through traditional universities. Courses offered through eMajor are taken within the Georgia Online Virtual Instruction Enterprise Wide (GoVIEW) learning management system. The eMajor collaborative program operates by the USG collaborative calendar, which may differ slightly from institutional calendars. Additionally, eMajor courses are offered in various formats, which include 8-week condensed sessions. For the Organizational Leadership (ORGL) major offered through UWG, all courses will be offered solely in 8-week sessions, which allows students to progress swiftly through courses as needed. All eMajor courses are taught by highly qualified USG instructors. Learning Outcomes Students will demonstrate an understanding of organizational leadership as it relates to and impacts individuals, communities, and wider society from democratic, multicultural, and national perspectives. Students will demonstrate through the discussion of key concepts and ideas the ability to express themselves effectively on topics and issues related to the field of organizational leadership. Students will demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving abilities regarding issues related to key challenges that organizations face when interacting with their environments. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the ethical principles underlying research and practice in organizational leadership.

Justification and Assessment
Next
  • Rationale*
    This proposal is associated with five new course proposals: SJUS 3000 Introduction to Social Justice SJUS 3050 Politics of Social Justice SJUS 4000 Social Justice Culture SJUS 4050 Law and Social Justice SJUS 4800 Social Justice Policy Analysis UWG is a partner in the eMajor BS in Organizational Leadership collaborative degree program. This program is adding a Social Justice concentration. To allow UWG based ORGL eMajor students to participate, and to be in alignment with our partners, we must also add this concentration. Currently, UWG ORGL students can only pursue the Public Service concentration, which is accomplished by completing 12 credit hours from a list of approved elective courses. https://emajor.usg.edu/degrees/organizational-leadership/ The intent of this proposal is to modify the program such that UWG ORGL majors can choose between the Public Service, or the Social Justice concentration. Each would be accomplished by completing 12 credit hours from a list of approved elective courses. Each concentration will have its own list of courses. Five new social justice courses, which will be offered via eMajor, have separately been proposed for addition to our catalog for this purpose (listed above). This proposal will change nothing else about the existing program. Regardless of major, ORGL students will share the same requirements for areas A-F (60 hours), a major core (30 hours), and general electives (18 hours). Therefore, the existing program learning outcomes and assessment plan can be retained. The Organizational Leadership program’s core curriculum is well suited to students pursuing careers in the public, or non-profit, sector. Students currently add depth to this competency by taking 12 upper level guided electives in public service. We would like to give them the option of developing a basic level of competency in social justice instead. This reflects the realities of our time and the idea that employers are interested in adding people to their teams who are fluent in these important issues.

    2.) Assessment Plan

    All major programs must include an assessment plan. Stand-alone minors must have an assessment plan as well.  A stand-alone minor is a minor that can be earned in a program that does not offer an undergraduates degree with a major in that discipline (for example, a student can earn a minor in Africana Studies but cannot complete a bachelor's degree with a major in Africana Studies). Minors in a discipline where a corresponding major is offered, are not required to include an assessment plan.
