为什么要读领导艺术硕士?
“这个项目增加了我与人合作的愿望 ... 它帮助我确定我喜欢做什么, 给我指明了最有效的方向.——Carlo Beckman，校友
我们认识到有许多不同的定义, theories and perspectives of leadership and different programs are designed around this varied landscape of leadership. Our MA in 领导 program at Saint Mary's College is situated in the midst of the San Francisco Bay Area, 这个地区以其日益多样化的活力和创造性活动中心而闻名, 复杂的, 相互依存的全球世界. We provide an understanding and practice of leadership that is reflective and responsive to this world.
Most leadership education programs for working professionals emphasize developing competencies in role–based managerial leadership. 我们的课程包括发展关系和协作领导能力. 以这种方式, 领导力是每个利益相关者都参与的事情, 这不仅仅是由指定领导人的个性特征和行为产生的.
通过发展能力和技能的深度和广度, our graduates are more able to effectively respond to the unique challenges and opportunities of an evolving world.
考虑一下领导力硕士和传统的MBA?
“作为一个同时获得领导力硕士和MBA学位的人, 我可以说两者都很重要，都有各自的目的. The MA in 领导 provided a foundation for me to continue my graduate studies in a more thoughtful and substantive way. (然后)进入杜克大学福库商学院(MBA), I found myself totally prepared to attack multi-faceted business cases in a way that was different from my classmates that was directly influenced by the MA in 领导. Now that I have finished my formal education and I am practicing all that I learned in both programs, I recognize that the MA in 领导 provided the foundation for my grasp of 复杂的 business problems and solutions, 定量和定性."
– 约翰·科尔曼，2008年领导学硕士
这两个学位都很重要，都有很好的用途. SMC的经济与工商管理学院提供 MBA项目 与我们的领导艺术硕士学位相匹配. Read more about the differences and compliments of SMC's MA in 领导 and a traditional MBA.
项目的亮点
澳门永利体育手机注册的领导艺术硕士课程于2001年开设. 当时, leadership was relatively new as a distinct academic discipline and we were one of approximately 15 graduate leadership education programs in the U.S. As one of the pioneer programs we continue to evolve along with the field of leadership that lever年龄 the assets of higher education toward fostering meaningful change in one’s work and life. 我们现在是全球数百个领导力项目之一.
What makes us unique in this growing and diverse field of academic leadership education programs is that we are informed by the values of the Three Traditions of Saint Mary’s College, 这反映了对正义的承诺, 服务与全人学习. Our hybrid online/in-person program provides a transformative education in collaborative leadership for working professionals responsive to the 复杂的 and emerging challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
最初专注于公共部门的领导, 到2003年，我们将工作重点扩大到包括私营和非营利部门的专业人士. 今天, 项目参与者不仅来自这三个领域, 而是代表不同的行业, 职责级别, 年龄, 种族, 职业抱负. 我们的毕业生一致表示，这个项目改变了他们的生活, 无论是职业上还是个人上. 他们告诉我们，他们的雇主, 的同事们, family and friends recognize their increased competence and confidence in building relationships, 引导和促进变革, 在压力下有效工作, 为提高工作和生活的效率和幸福感创造条件. They also tell us that they are more capable identifying and deploying their unique skills and gifts that improve their lives and the organizations to which they belong.
Post-Grad成功
研究生s from the MA in 领导 program range in age from their mid-twenties to their early seventies, hailing from all sectors of the economy and representing all levels/titles of positional authority. It is the remarkable diversity of participants who are drawn to this program that creates what graduates describe as the “secret sauce” of this transformative experience.

领导力学习组合
学习组合由四个要素组成:个人领导力发展计划, 反映论文, 领导力项目报告, 以及毕业生自我评估.
领导力发展计划
The creation of the leadership development plan (LDP) starts during the first course and continues throughout the program. 在创建LDP时，学习者有五个主要活动:
- 发展个人理想的领导力定义/视角.
- 跟踪其在项目生命周期中的形成和出现.
- 确定这一定义的理论和价值.
- To identify the capacities and skills needed to enact this definition/perspective of leadership in one’s field of practice.
- To create actions and practices that promote the development of this leadership in one’s work and life following completion of the program.
反映论文
At the end of each course you will be asked to write a reflection paper discussing how you are connecting the learning between courses and how you are applying the learning. The focus of the 反映论文 will vary following each course and are intended to support your learning throughout the program — write about what has meaning for you; timely completion of the weaver reflection papers is a requirement for your learning portfolio for graduation.
领导力项目报告
领导力项目是该计划的高潮和整合组成部分. 作为项目最后十个月的巅峰之作, 领导力项目(也称为综合项目)邀请您进行整合, 演示, and synthesize 21st century leadership practices as you identify and carry out a research project for which you have a great passion. 你将设计, implement and report on a participatory action inquiry and change strategy in response to a problem, 问题, 特定群体中的机会或问题, 机构或社区. The project offers you the opportunity to develop new processes and practices for sustainable leadership at the personal and organizational level. You learn through creating the conditions for a collaborative change process and engaging 21st century leadership practices. 领导力项目报告描述了研究项目的设计, 实现, 结果, 和经验.
毕业生自我评价
在领导力课程的最后一个模块, 学员在课程过程中写下他们的学习经历. 程序学习成果作为论文第一部分的组织框架. The other two sections include an assessment of the learner’s personal learning goals and a reflection on the experience of membership in the cohort learning community.
