Leadership


Bachelor of Science

THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED BOTH ON CAMPUS AND ONLINE.

We’ve designed the Leadership bachelor degree completion program with your needs in mind. In as little as 19 months, you can earn a Bachelor of Science. Once you’ve earned your degree, you’ll be poised to compete in a 21st-century economy and pursue a career in business or management.

With Leadership, we get down to business. We focus on writing, research methods, organizational behavior, information technology, human resources administration and communications. You’ll enroll in our intensive 30-credit program and take 9 consecutive courses over a 19-month period. You’ll work in cohorts with people who come from similar professional backgrounds.

The Leadership program is designed for the working adult that has already completed some college coursework. While the Leadership program only consists of 30 credits, you must complete the equivalent of 120 credits of college coursework to earn your degree. La Roche can accept up to 90 transfer credits in some situations. You can also explore other ways to meet the requirements, including:

  • Traditional or accelerated courses from La Roche College
  • College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), a standardized multiple choice test for various subject areas
  • Credits earned through Credit For Life Experience
  • Challenge Exams

    • Real world problem solving and decision making skills
    • Learner independence and self-reliance
