Which MAOL Track is Right for You?
Each MAOL track emphasizes ethical leadership skills and real-world applications. Choose from the following options to meet your career and personal goals:
Accountancy Leadership
This concentration meets the provisions of the Board of Accountancy of Minnesota and other states to sit for the Uniform Examination for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) after graduation, without prior experience. By selecting the accountancy concentration, students distinguish themselves as accountants committed to leadership and ethics. Return to Top
Dispute Resolution
This option allows students to earn a certificate from Hamline’s nationally renowned Dispute Resolution Institute while also earning the MAOL degree. Students study with a cross-section of practicing lawyers, human resources and business personnel and other professionals. The certificate in dispute resolution verifies the student's ability to deal effectively with differences among individuals and groups. Return to Top
Ethics and Leadership
This concentration offers students maximum flexibility and adaptability as they tailor course work to their professional and personal interests. Students who relish studying with others from a wide variety of backgrounds and organizations, and are looking for a multidisciplinary, "big picture" orientation to leadership, should choose this option.

Healthcare Leadership
For healthcare managers or those who want to expand their healthcare career to take a leadership role, the concentration in healthcare leadership equips students to respond in this challenging environment. Through course work in leadership and healthcare management, students collaborate with others from various backgrounds to prepare for cross-functional, interorganizational and interagency situations typically facing today’s healthcare leaders.

Information Services and Technology
This track is designed for those who lead, or want to lead, an information services or systems unit within an organization. This concentration gives students the tools to manage knowledge and information through the use of various technologies. Course work drawn from St. Catherine's widely recognized Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program will enrich students' "information toolbox," while emphasis on ethics and leadership gives students a solid grounding for dealing with current issues — such as collecting competitive intelligence.

Spirituality and Leadership
Individuals who bring their “true selves” to the workplace are the most satisfied and creative workers. Students who identify with this vision may use this concentration to combine the professional development of leadership skills with personal awareness of spiritual roots and faith formation. Students take courses from both the Master of Arts in Theology (MAT) and the MAOL such as “Spirituality and Leadership.” First offered soon after the inception of the MAOL program, this became one of the first such courses available in the country.

Strategic Management
For students who want to pursue the MAOL because of its ethics and leadership core — yet need a solid educational grounding in management — this distinctive alternative to the traditional MBA degree is ideal. Studies center around core classes in ethical leadership, which students integrate with theory and practical applications in finance, communication, accounting, organizational theory, management, marketing and economics.

Dual MAOL/JD Dual Degree
This collaborative program between the College of St. Catherine and Hamline University School of Law saves students time and money if they want to combine legal training with leadership development. The MAOL, when coupled with the Juris Doctorate (JD) degree, positions graduates for a wide range of opportunities in today’s demanding and complex government, nonprofit and business environments. Students may pursue the JD either during the day or on weekends. Return to Top
Library Leadership
Today's librarians actively participate in shaping the future of their profession, while maintaining the integrity of traditional librarianship. The graduate Library Leadership certificate, with its focus on professional leadership development, educates library professionals who wish to take on more responsibility as leaders and enhance their abilities to effect positive change within their organizations and the larger community. The Library Leadership certificate focuses on leadership knowledge and skill, financial decision-making, persuasive communication skills, and personnel management.
Students who have completed an ALA-accredited Master's degree will follow a 15-credit course sequence. Students with a bachelor's degree may complete an 18-credit sequence. The Library Leadership option is available only as a certificate, and is not offered as a concentration within the full MAOL or MLIS degree programs. Interested candidates must meet the admission requirements for MAOL certificate programs. Return to Top
