HIU's Master of Science in Organizational Development (MSOL) degree program prepares students with advanced skills in leadership, ethics, environmental economics, communication, marketing, finance, research, and strategic management. Leadership and management disciplines are a launching platform for those seeking the skills to make a positive difference in local, regional, national, and global cultures and societies.

Our program features sound research training, a curriculum blend of theory and practice, and faith and ethics-based teaching from faculty with top academic credentials and real world experience.
