The MS in Organizational Effectiveness, Development and
Change (OEDC) program will allow you to develop the
necessary skills to be an effective agent of change in
business and corporate organizations. You will learn
the theory, methods, techniques, and skills to influence
change and develop businesses to maximize effectiveness.
The program is grounded in theory and empirical evidence,
focused on critical and analytical thinking, and includes
methods for planning and implementing strategies in today's
complex, dynamic, and global business environment.
Although there
is no single profile of a successful student, the majority
of students in this program are expected to be mid-career
business professionals. Most students have had some
supervisory experience, and are planning for positions in
middle and upper management. Additionally, some students may be preparing for Doctoral
level studies in business, management, or organizational
behavior/development, or preparing for careers as internal
or external organizational consultants. Students
preparing for doctoral work should adopt a research focus
with the thesis option. |
