College of Saint Mary Launches Spring Start of Master of Science in Organizational Leadership Program

OMAHA, Neb. – College of Saint Mary is proud to announce the January 2025 launch of the newest cohort of its Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) program. The program, relaunched entirely online in 2018, was previously only available for fall enrollment.

“Our program is designed to empower aspiring leaders with skills, knowledge and confidence to thrive in today’s dynamic and ever-evolving organizational landscape,” said Beth Merkel, PhD, director of the MSOL program. “I look forward to welcoming a diverse group of dedicated professionals eager to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.”

CSM’s MSOL program is a rigorous and immediately applicable leadership development program for working professionals. It can be completed in one or two years. Intelligent.com, which reviewed 1,280 accredited colleges and universities programs, ranked CSM’s program No. 5 nationally in online graduate business education.

Omaha resident Kelsey Skey enrolled in the program to gain more leadership opportunities within her company, Godfather’s Pizza, Inc.

“This is exactly what I needed to take the next step in my career,” said Kelsey, who earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2013 and a post-baccalaureate paralegal from CSM in 2021.

Within her first year of the MSOL program, Kelsey, an executive coordinator and paralegal, was promoted to director of human resources and legal.

“My company saw right away that I was gaining more and more experience through the program, so they realized I could take that next step before I even finished,” she said.
