Biography
Dr. Ruth Barratt is chair of the Rader School of Business at MSOE. Previously, she was a key player in the development of Arizona State University's online MBA program, which went on to achieve a number one ranking in the United States. Barratt came to MSOE in 2015 to lead the MBA in Education Leadership program. Under her leadership, enrollment in that program increased from 14 to 70 students. Originally a national initiative funded by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the program combines business and education course work to better prepare up-and-coming school leaders for the challenges of leading an academic system. Character formation and education leadership are the tenants that guide the program. The MBA in Education Leadership has since evolved from a fellowship- to tuition-based program run solely by the Rader School of Business. It is the first of its kind in the United States.
Her teaching and consulting interests are in developing leaders of character, building high performance teams, leadership development, business ethics, organizational behavior, corporate governance, organizational culture and executive coaching.
