Curriculum:
M.A. in Strategic Foresight

The MSF curriculum can be thought of as a pyramid that builds its structure upon five successive layers:

1. Overview
   You begin your program with an overview of leadership and futures studies. You learn how to leverage these two disciplines to think strategically and influence others.
2. Theory
   The second layer is futures theory. You study organized complexity and apply theories of how organizations and societies change over time.
3. Methods
   The third level of the Strategic Foresight degree is methods. You study forecasting, scenarios and strategic change.
4. Context
   The fourth level is context. Effective leaders specialize or develop contextual intelligence about their organization's future. Our electives in Organizational Futures, World Futures, Human Futures, Professional Futures and Religionists & Futurists help you build your own knowledge base.
5. Capstone
   The fifth and final level is a capstone project. You experience a professional internship, write a formal dissertation or write up a project relating to the long-term direction of your field.
