Northcentral University Announces New Graduate Degree Programs in Organizational Leadership and Marriage & Family Therapy
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2015 -- Northcentral University (NCU), a global online graduate school, is launching three new programs and 27 new degree specializations, to meet student interest in emerging areas of study.
The three new NCU programs launched today are the Doctor of Philosophy in Organizational Leadership (PhD-OL) and the Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL), both from the School of Business and Technology Management (SBTM), and the Doctorate of Marriage & Family Therapy (DMFT) in the School of Marriage and Family Sciences (SMFS).
The PhD-OL degree program is a challenging, in-depth study of leadership with broad application across industries, allowing students to examine leadership in a multitude of dimensions, while the MSOL program provides an intense examination of the current state of leadership within a given profession. The DMFT doctoral program is designed to provide master’s-level clinicians with skills in program development, program evaluation, grant writing, clinical practice, clinical supervision, and applied research. All three new degree programs are 100 percent online with no residency requirements.
Within a given program, NCU offers a variety of specializations to meet constantly evolving demands from industry professionals. The 27 new program specializations are spread across NCU’s Schools and represent emerging fields such as a Nursing Education specialization in the Doctor of Education (EdD) program, an LGBTQ Couple and Family Therapy specialization in the Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (MAMFT) program and the Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship specialization in the Doctor of Marriage & Family Therapy (DMFT) program.

These were developed by NCU with the insights of our professors, all of whom hold doctoral degrees, and have expertise in these new programs and specializations,” said Dr. Ted Mikell, NCU’s Director of Curriculum Development. “The students who come to us are professionals in specialized fields and know exactly what they need and want to excel in the workplace.”
