Course summary

This program is designed to prepare students for administrative positions with human service and community action agencies. The program provides a contemporary approach to administration as a sense-making, problem solving activity that emphasizes leadership rather than management. Students learn to analyze organizational problems from multiple perspectives, empower leadership practices, and develop qualities associated with effective leadership and informed decision-making. The courses in this program provide a human development foundation and integrate a human relations orientation with conceptual and technical skills.
