Ohio Dominican University's LEAD Program is visibly different from many adult degree programs. Even more important, ODU is a University that uses its smaller size to its advantage-combining personalized attention and flexibility with a quality education that is recognized and respected by the business community.

One Course at a Time
Research has shown that concentrated immersion in a single subject is the best way for the working adult to learn. You'll focus on one subject at a time before moving on to the next course. Because the program is accelerated, you'll find the pace keeps class interesting and new.

Investing One Night a Week
To accommodate your busy schedule, your class will meet just one evening a week. Best of all, that class night stays the same throughout the entire program, allowing you to maintain a regular and predictable schedule. Weekend programs are now available.

Meet With a Project Team
One of the unique features of the LEAD Program is the project team component. Students have the opportunity to meet weekly with a project team to help them better learn the course materials and sharpen their team skills. The skills learned in project teams, such as how to combine and share talents, experience and learning resources, are held in high regard by corporations and organizations. Employees who function successfully in collaborative, team oriented work environments are often more productive and creative - qualities employers look for in a highly competitive market.

Practicing What We Teach
Your courses will be taught by academically credentialed business professionals. They respect the fact that you're a working adult, so you'll be treated more like a peer than a pupil. Your classes will be small, the discussion lively and your instructors are committed to bringing real world relevancy to their subjects. Therefore, you can take what you've learned and apply it at work the next day.
