Today's organizations are facing enormous changes resulting in part from the quality movement, customer orientation, globalization, access to information, technical advances and the recognized worth and competence of each individual. Our goal is to prepare graduates with the knowledge and capabilities to facilitate organizational change that mutually strengthens the person and the organization. This program provides students with a foundation in business and organization life. It then grounds them in the theory and processes of adult learning and personal development which are fundamental to lasting organization change. The course work moves on to prepare students in the theory and tools associated with the discipline of Organizational Development.
Students conclude their experience with an integrative seminar.
The MAA program consists of 36 semester hours of study. The student, in coordination with the Program Advisor, selects the remaining 6 elective hours from other graduate course offerings. A grade point average of 2.5 on all undergraduate work and an average of 3.0 in courses that serve as the foundation for the graduate major.
