Holistic Leadership Program

Holistic Leadership is an integrative field of study. By combining helping skills, organizational learning, systems thinking, and holistic approaches, students will learn to become leaders within their own sphere.

The leadership program offers a 48 credit Masters degree in Holistic Leadership. Graduates of the Salve Regina Holistic Counseling Program may earn a 15 credit Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Holistic Leadership as well. Applicants to the holistic leadership program who already have a masters degree from a university other than Salve Regina may be eligible for a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Holistic Leadership.
