Organizational Studies (Major)
专业介绍
Organizational Studies is an interdisciplinary major program, emphasizing the influence of economic, psychological, sociological, political, and other factors on individuals and complex organizational systems. The field is concerned with how organizational systems function, their effects on individuals and the larger society, and with the processes of organizational change.
The curriculum is designed to provide:
- core courses focusing on concepts fundamental to organizational theory and research;
- cluster and elective courses to provide breadth and depth in understanding links between the individual and organizations on the one hand, and organizations and society on the other; and
- courses designed to provide field-based experience in organizational research, analysis and practice.
The major is also designed to balance the study of challenging theoretical issues with diverse and refined methods of empirical inquiry.
Students may find this major appropriate preparation for careers or graduate work in business administration, consulting, communication and media, education, human resources, industrial and organizational psychology, public health, public policy, social and non-profit administration, the sociology of work and organizations, and related fields.
