I found this program yesterday while I was filling out my readmission application. I decided to do this instead of the MBA.
The program is taking applicants now for April 1.

Darn you. Just when I think I have my program all figured out, here you come lol.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

Thanks for sharing, but I never understood this trend of creating MBA-lites. My stomach literally turns when I see a degree program with "leadership" in the title.

I can see your point. However, I don't particularly care what the title of the degree is (but that's just my opinion). I'm way more interested in the courses this program offers as opposed to the MBA.

I don't know, I think the "MBA" is still the principle qualifier for all things business. What will employers think? how will others view your degree?
With that said...the hardest courses in the WGU MBA appear to have been eliminated in this degree. No Finance, no Decision Analyses, no Supply Chain...I think this could be a degree plan that would allow you to move through at a cheetah's pace...you could bang this out in 6-12 months I bet.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Except that I would consider a doctoral "leadership" degree if I could find a cheap/doable one, I do agree with your premise.

I think studying and researching leadership from a social science perspective would be very interesting.

I'm way more interested in the courses this program offers as opposed to the MBA. My main problem is with the curriculum. When I see "leadership," I know all of the quantitative courses have been stripped out and the program will be nothing but management and leadership courses. I'm not really sure if it's a subject that needs to be studied that thoroughly. If I wanted to study leadership from a social science standpoint, I would stick to political science/international relations, public policy, public administration, sociology, and psychology or I/O psychology.

Enjoying the dialogue in this thread. I'm looking forward to more.
