School of Leadership and Interdisciplinary Studies (SOLIS)

The graduate Interdisciplinary and leadership programs are offered either online (all) or face to face (Ed.D. only) with administrative offices located in The Office of Graduate and Adult Education.

Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership: Trevecca’s Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership degree program is designed for working professionals with current leadership roles or those desiring leadership responsibilities. It aims to enhance individual and group leadership skill development so that employees can work from a servant leadership perspective. The program provides a Christian perspective of leadership in a secular world. Note that the program is also available in a 13-month accelerated format.

Since 1901, Trevecca has been developing leaders who will make a positive impact on businesses and organizations. Our Master of Organizational Leadership program is ideal for students who want a degree that’s practical, relevant, and immediately beneficial in transforming their workplaces. The 33-credit-hour degree takes two years to complete. The eleven courses are taken one class at a time, most classes being six weeks long.

Master of Arts in Corporate Learning and Talent Development: This program equips graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to fulfill high-demand roles in the field, such as Chief Learning Officer and Talent Development Manager, with competitive salaries reflecting their importance in organizational success. The curriculum is aligned with industry standards, particularly the APTD certification, ensuring graduates are prepared to meet job market challenges and drive strategic growth within their organizations. Students will gain hands-on experience through practical applications, positioning them for leadership roles in corporate training and development. (Pending SACSCOC approval)

Organizational Intelligence Dual-Degree Pathway: This pathway provides academically qualified students the opportunity to enhance their educational experience and strengthen their career preparation and readiness for leadership positions. This new strategy of programmatic synthesis combines the learning experiences of the MOL and EdD programs, allowing students to earn both degrees with less time and financial cost than would typically be required if the programs were taken independently – all without losing the integrity, quality, and coherence of each academic degree program.

Ed.D.: Leadership: The 60-hour major in Leadership is a multidisciplinary doctoral program designed for the leaders in a variety of fields including education, business, higher education, mental health, non-profit, law enforcement, and government. The program can be completed in as little as 27 months and can be taken face to face or online. Research culminating in a dissertation is prepared in concert with the course work. The program is designed around a cohort model and a rigorous, standardized curriculum. For face-to-face students, a nine-day, on-campus residency period is required during the three summers of the student's program. The instructional delivery system includes extended time beyond actual class meetings for reflections, lectures, group work, technology, presentation, and research reports.
