Wright State to Offer
Organizational Leadership Degree at Edison State
Information Session Set for April 30
Wright State University will soon offer a Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
degree in Organizational Leadership at Edison State Community College’s
Piqua Campus.
To cement the partnership, Edison State Community College and Wright
State University have entered an articulation agreement to ensure a
seamless transfer for students interested in pursuing this degree.
“We are excited to partner with Wright State University to offer the
Organizational Leadership program to our students,” said Chris
Spradlin, Provost for Edison State. “It is a wonderful opportunity for
students to stay close to home and develop their leadership skills in
preparation for many different career paths.”
Wright State’s Organizational Leadership undergraduate degree is a
multidisciplinary degree that focuses on the people side of
organizations and managing others. Graduates of the program learn to
establish trust, build effective teams, enhance presentation skills,
problem-solve, engage with and motivate employees and co-workers,
appreciate diversity in a global work environment, take initiative, and
leverage individual strengths for success.
Using a combination of interactive video distance-learning (IVDL)
technology and interactive online learning, students can complete their
coursework being on Edison State’s campus one evening per week.
“I’ve also been impressed by the IVDL technology; it delivers an
authentic, interactive classroom experience for everyone, no matter
where they are located,” added Spradlin.
The cohort-based program will be offered beginning in fall 2018 and
students can complete the degree in as little as 16 months, depending
upon the number of transfer credits they have earned.
To enter the B.S. in Organizational Leadership degree program at Wright
State, Edison State students must first complete an Associate of Arts
or Associate of Science transfer degree. Alternatively, completion of
60 or more semester credit hours, cumulative minimum GPA of 2.0 or
higher, and completion of Ohio Transfer Module Math will also grant
admission to the program.
An information session will be held on Monday, April 30, 2018, from
5:30-7:00 p.m. in room 504/505 on the Edison State Piqua Campus for
those interested in joining the Organizational Leadership cohort in
fall 2018. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the
program, ask questions, and enjoy refreshments and giveaways. Those
interested in attending are asked to RSVP to Brenda Kraner, Program
Director, Organizational Leadership, Wright State University,
