Organizational Development and Change Degree Concentration

Doctor of Management - Concentration in Organizational Development and Change

The Doctor of Management with a concentration in Organizational Development and Change (ODC) degree program is designed to provide candidates with the theoretical, research and application capabilities necessary to pursue a rewarding career in their chosen field. The first year of this Organizational Development and Change program focuses on research and studying classic and current management literature. In the second year, the student begins to form a personal understanding of the management research and methods used in Organizational Development and Change. The final year is reserved for the development of leadership skills and the ability to manage change, resulting in the production of four publishable papers or a dissertation that must be approved by a three-member committee.

Course content of the Organizational Development and Change degree concentration is geared towards teaching students how to evaluate organizational design in the context of the strategic plan. They are also challenged to design a large systems intervention strategy and experience and analyze an entire cycle in action research in a complex organization.

The Doctor of Management with a concentration in Organizational Development and Change includes twelve 5-credit classes and twelve 3-credit research and writing courses. One research and writing course is taken each quarter in conjunction with one formal course over a three year period. Courses are taught using Colorado Technical University's Professional Learning Model™ in an executive format. Each course combines an active online component with an intensive residential session lasting four and a half days. Students are required to attend two of the quarterly residential sessions held throughout the year based on their start date.

Some of the required courses include:

• Fundamentals of Management
• Research Methods and Design
• Qualitative and Ethnographic Methods
• Strategic Organization Design
• Large Scale Transformational Change
• Philosophy of Science, Values and Ethics
