The Department of Organization, Workforce, and Leadership Studies offers two distinct master's degrees designed for professionals focused on career success in organizational and technical education settings.

The Interdisciplinary Studies program with a concentration in Organization, Workforce, and Leadership Studies offers a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (MSIS) or Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS). The purpose of both degrees is to engage students in different disciplines to understand certain topics or problems. Each of the degree offerings had the same rules about course choice and requirements, so potential students may choose either based on the degree they would like to receive. Each degree is 39 credit hours. 

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Management of Technical Education degree is a degree built for the specific audience of educators and trainers with Career and Technical Education and training in mind. Students can hone their technical education and administrative skills through courses in career and technical education. Theses courses include methods of teaching and training, the professions of teaching and training, and human relations. The Management of Technical Education degree is a 36-hour degree. 

Both degree programs are offered in a fully online or hybrid format to meet the needs of today's career-minded students. All students work with a faculty advisor to coordinate their degree choices based on their professional goals and aspirations. Faculty with expertise in adult learning, online and technical education create robust online learning environments to promote student success.

Our programs are designed for part-time study while working and may be completed from most any location. We offer flexible course scheduling, including accelerated courses on 8-week half-semester terms or 5-week summer terms, to allow students to move quickly through the program. We offer advising and support in San Marcos, Round Rock, and online. You may visit our website for additional information on our programs and to contact a faculty advisor for an individualized appointment. Your advisor and departmental faculty can assist you in outlining and supporting your career goals with a relevant degree, whether you have or are seeking a career in the following:

  • training and development,
  • career and technical education,
  • organization development,
  • management of training and curriculum environments,
