Master of Science in Leadership

Where Inspiration Meets Authority

Leadership emerges in the moments that challenge us, the conversations that deepen our understanding, and the reflections that help us recognize our purpose. It is strengthened through personal service, authentic connection, and a commitment to contributing meaningfully to the communities we serve.

The Master of Science in Leadership at Mayville State invites you into that journey. Designed for both established managers and everyday leaders driving change across their careers, organizations, and social spheres, this fully online, applied degree provides flexibility without sacrificing personal attention or academic rigor. Students are known, supported, and guided through a leadership journey grounded in intentional learning and continuous development.

An Academically Rigorous, Personally Meaningful Journey

Coursework integrates leadership theory, organizational research, ethical decision-making, and change management with structured self-assessment and applied practice. Students examine their assumptions, values, and decision-making patterns while applying evidence-based frameworks to solve active challenges within their organizations, volunteer initiatives, or local communities.

You will graduate with a defined personal leadership philosophy, mastery in resource management and emerging technology, and a completed Applied Leadership Capstone, providing a measurable impact statement for your résumé that proves your ability to lead and influence change.
