Department of Organizational Leadership and Supervision (OLS)

Associate Professors Goodwin (Chair), Hundley

Assistant Professors Feldhaus, Fox

Lecturer Wolter

This program offers a broadbased education for those students who desire leadership roles in business, government, or industry. A guiding vision of the department is to close the gap between theory and practice.

Associate of Science (A.S.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are available. Specialized Certificates in Human Resource Management, Certificate in International Leadership, and Certificate in Leadership Studies are available. The Certificate in Leadership Studies is only available to non–Organizational Leadership and Supervision majors.

The degree programs are flexible to meet the needs of both traditional and nontraditional students. As part of a relevant and practical discipline, our programs integrate a series of core courses with a choice of concentration tracks. The core courses offer a strong foundation in leadership, communication and general education, mathematics, and science. Concentration tracks allow students to develop their interests and talents within a particular technical field. Students will select courses from the following technical concentration areas:

Computer and Information Technology (CIT)

Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology (CIMT)

Construction Technology (CNT)

Electrical Engineering Technology (ECET)

Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)

Interdisciplinary

Allied Health

Business

Informatics

Nursing

School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA)

Course work for the A.S. degree provides a solid foundation for students who wish to enhance their employment opportunities or pursue more advanced degrees. The work is balanced enough to include the study of mathematics and science, as well as study of technology related to the student’s intended career, general education, and supervisory leadership. Students develop abilities that can help them become effective contributors early in their employment.

The B.S. degree increases the range and depth of the student’s education in technical and leadership areas. Graduates are prepared to assume leadership positions in a variety of organizational functions as well as to pursue graduate degrees. The degree requirements are arranged in seven areas of study: leadership and supervision, mathematics and science, communication, behavioral science, social science and humanities, related technology, and electives.

Students working toward their B.S. degrees may earn certificates in specialty areas in technology and in OLS. For example, by taking a combination of organizational leadership and supervision (OLS) courses, students may earn a certificate in Human Resource Management. Academic advisors will assist the student in selecting courses needed to meet the requirements in the concentration area.

The Department of Organizational Leadership and Supervision agrees to accept credit hours earned at Ivy Tech and Vincennes University in their Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science programs. Where applicable these credit hours will be distributed to satisfy the requirements for the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science degree programs in OLS.
