First Time Enrollment Fall 2019 and Beyond

The Master of Leadership Development is an interdisciplinary, 36-credit program that blends social and behavioral sciences with ethical studies. Credit may be given for similar courses taken at other institutions.

The curriculum (for students entering the program Fall 2019 and later) includes:

  • 9 credits in Leadership Cornerstones
  • 12 credits in Leadership Competencies
  • 12 credits in Leadership Context Electives
  • 3 credits in the Leadership Capstone course

Courses are offered in seven-week (50% online) or 14-week (100% online) sessions. There are six seven-week sessions and three semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer) each academic year.

Students admitted fall 2009 or after must successfully complete the SARI (Scholarship and Research Integrity) requirement of the Penn State degree in order to graduate. Students admitted fall 2019 or after must also complete the MLD Pre-Program Exercise.
