The Management, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship (MLE) BA and BS programs, now housed at Parsons School of Design, give adult students a design advantage in the management and leadership of organizations and in entrepreneurship. The programs integrate design thinking, systems thinking, ethics, and applied technology, training students to become effective leaders of complex organizations.
In all industries and organizations, there’s a growing need for managers who can lead strategically while upholding principles of equity, access, and sustainability. The Management, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship major in our Adult Bachelor’s Program prepares you to design and implement ethical and collaborative solutions to complex organizational problems in a way that contributes to equity and collective well-being. You gain the critical insights and practical skills you need to advance within an organization or start a new venture in an increasingly complex world.
The New School’s unique approach to management education prepares the next generation of managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs to confront the status quo and create a more just and sustainable future. In this major, you transcend conventional business approaches to think critically about redefining value in human terms—both within organizations and in the market. Through coursework and experiential learning opportunities, you develop the ability to balance financial outcomes in a business or organization with the potential for advancing social, environmental, and personal transformation.
Many of our students are working professionals who are returning to college seeking advancement or a change in their career and life trajectory. The program is designed to provide flexible, timely, cost-effective, customizable pathways for degree completion using online and on-campus modes of delivery. Students also have the freedom to explore diverse courses and resources throughout the university—such as technological and design facilities, foreign language courses, and socially engaged learning opportunities.
