Organizational Development Concentration

The low residency Masters in Psychology and Counseling Program offers a concentration in Organizational Development. This concentration is an opportunity for individuals who have a focused interest in applying counseling skills to working with organizations. These may include individuals who wish to incorporate into their practice a thorough knowledge of human service and business organizations, awareness of the spiritual dimensions of organizational life, a social justice perspective, and a sense of the multicultural and gender issues facing the organizational life of our society.

Students who pursue the low residency Organizational Development concentration are required to take the six Core Courses, in addition to the Psychology and Counseling Program’s required courses. The six required Core Courses promote a wide range of explorations designed to provide a fundamental understanding of organizational development. These become the foundation from which students build their own individualized studies within the concentration, tailored to explore the questions, issues, and populations of primary interest to them.
