MA Catholic Leadership Accelerated Program
All students seeking to add leadership training to an existing undergraduate degree may apply to the accelerated Master of Catholic Leadership program. For both online and on-ground undergraduate students, after applying through the MCL Admissions site and meeting the program expectations will begin May 2021 with the incoming cohort. Senior undergraduate students receiving admission to the program will follow the cohort pathway, taking two courses in the fall and spring in addition to their major requirements. To continue in the accelerated program, students must maintain an overall QPA in graduate courses at or higher than what specified by the MCL program requirements.
Also, graduates may find the Action Research component in year two a marketable talking point for new employers given their research, and action will be applied to a leadership need within an organization.
