Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business: Masters of Management and Organizational Leadership

About the Program

The residential Smeal Master of Management and Organizational Leadership (MOL) is a one-year Master Degree designed for pre-professional students from technical and STEM disciplines. The program is designed to bridge the gap between a technical background and the business world by providing Master-level instruction in business fundamentals, communications, negotiations, and management and leadership.

Only accepting up to 60 students per year, the program takes a very personal and experiential approach to education. Each student receives individual attention and classroom instruction that applies to real world situations through relevant classwork, case evaluations, and team projects. MOL students receive significant access to faculty that provide a high-caliber education within a small, interactive classroom experience.

Program Format and Schedule

The program takes one year, and includes 30 credits of business-focused coursework. Classes include business fundamentals such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, and Statistics; as well as courses in communication skills, ethics, strategic management, and team processes and performance.
