Master of Arts in Organization Development and Change
Program Overview
Today’s world is extremely complex and experiencing tremendous social, economic, political and climate change. Organizations need leaders who can understand the complexity of organizational systems from small businesses to international entities. At all levels, they need agents of change who can master this rapidly changing world, new technologies, workforce needs and government regulations. Graduates of the MAODC program can find many options for rewarding careers across a wide array of industries and organizations.
Organization development involves an ongoing process of implementing effective organizational change interventions. OD is a field of applied science focused on understanding and managing organizational change and is interdisciplinary in nature and draws on social psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, theories of motivation, learning, and personality. Along with the behavioral sciences, the practice of OD has incorporated new and emerging fields of study including systems thinking and organizational learning, into a much more multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approach to change and organizational effectiveness.
Organization Development and Change processes are planned organization-wide, designed to increase organization effectiveness and health, through planned interventions in the organization's "processes,” using behavioral and systems science knowledge focusing on developing organization capability through alignment of strategy, structure, processes, people, rewards and metrics. Leading change is often conducted through organization, leadership, professional and talent development as well as organizational effectiveness activities. Opportunities for organization development and change professionals include business, education, not-for-profit, government, international NGOs, politics and consulting.
