Organization Studies
Organization Studies is a broad discipline that studies how organizations are structured and how individuals fit into that structure. Faculty is committed to providing an open, challenging and supportive environment for students to learn about the human component of organizations.
As organizations become increasingly knowledge-based, human resources have emerged as a critical strategic factor determining competitive advantage. In response to this trend and to prepare students for a career in human resource management, we offer a concentration in Human Resources Management at the undergraduate level. Because our students need to learn how to better lead and manage people and organizations, we also offer a concentration in Management and Leadership to support undergraduate students in all management disciplines in becoming more effective managers and leaders.
At the graduate level, we recognize that change leadership is a core competence for managers today. To help our MBAs develop the ability to respond to rapidly changing technological demands, market reconfigurations, and other organizational issues, we offer a concentration in Change Leadership. In addition, we offer a Ph.D. in Organization Studies that prepares students for a career in academic research on organizations.
