Salve creates new online master’s degree to build expertise in high-purpose leadership
Salve Regina has launched a new online graduate program in Organizational Transformation and Leadership, which is now enrolling for this fall. Designed for individuals who seek to broaden their expertise in strategic management, organizational culture, sustainable business and analytical decision making, the 10-course master’s degree program can be completed in 12 months.
In 2024, Forbes recognized Salve as having one of the best Online MBAs in Entrepreneurship. As a mission-driven institution focused on five critical societal concerns, Salve offers an environment where individuals can explore sustainable and inclusive practices that elicit systemic change. To help individuals and organizations navigate the diverse 21st-century workforce, purpose-driven leadership has become essential across industries. This master’s degree program charts the course for a new type of leader to emerge that fosters leadership development by providing cutting-edge content and experiential approaches.
“The most significant contribution leaders make is not to today’s bottom line; it is to the long-term development of people and institutions so they can adapt,” note authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner in their international best-selling book “The Leadership Challenge.”

“We’ve designed this program to be a gateway to enhanced employability, professional advancement and organizational growth for people at any point in their career or educational journey,” said Dr. Teresa Starzecki, Salve assistant professor and graduate program director in the business and economics department. “The course empowers people to become effective leaders who promote sustainability, ethics and social responsibility, creating a positive influence within their organizations and contributing to a more inclusive and collaborative society.”
Delivered online, the program is a blend of synchronous and asynchronous class meetings that provide the tools to predict, analyze and address current and future business challenges while integrating data-driven best practices. A bachelor’s degree is required to apply.
In addition to the master’s degree, Salve offers “stackable” graduate certificates in business intelligence for organizational progress, organizational culture transformation, and strategic transformation and sustainable management. These certificates can stand alone or be combined with two additional courses to complete the master’s degree. Through combined offerings, qualified Salve undergraduates can earn their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in just five years.
Salve will host a webinar for those looking to learn more about the new Organizational Transformation and Leadership master’s program on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, from 11 a.m. to Noon. Register here.
