Minor in Organizational Sciences

Operating within a human-centered philosophy of organizations, the Organizational Sciences program ties managerial and executive success to the integration of knowledge in three key areas: strategy and change management, leadership and communication, and performance and talent management. You will be prepared to analyze and solve problems in a professional setting by exploring tools needed to steer organizations toward success. Graduates can move on to careers in the communications specialist field or work as consultants in market analysis. Many of our graduates are employed by Accenture, Legg Mason, SAIC, and the U.S. Department of State.
