The hours count toward the Master of Science degree in Organizational Development Psychology. The Certificate in Leadership Coaching can be taken independent of enrollment in any graduate degree program.

Outcomes


In addition to the general degree requirements stated earlier in this university catalog, Master of Science degree in Organizational Development Psychology students will be expected to meet the following educational outcomes:

  1. Apply ODP interventions at individual, group, and organizational levels to influence change in organizations. (OD 630 , OD 675 , OD 691 )
  2. Demonstrate an understanding of how to use each phase of the Action Research Model. (OD 625 , OD 640 )
  3. Utilize ODP principles, theories, and concepts in organization design and transformation. (OD 630 , OD 660 )
  4. Influence organizations to high performance by applying appropriate interventions. (OD 640 )
  5. Incorporate ODP principles and values when working with clients. (OD 600 , OD 640 , OD 675 )

Assessment


Summative outcomes for the Master of Science degree in Organizational Development Psychology (ODP) are assessed in the Applied Research Project capstone course (OD 695 ) in which students apply the concepts, theories, and research from earlier classes in the program to a real-life project with an organization or business. Students present the results of their projects to the clients from that organization in both oral and written format. The clients for the project will assess the project based upon the above criteria. In addition, professionals in the management field and faculty in the program will assess the written portion of the final reports. The summative assessment occurs yearly. Formative outcomes are assessed in individual courses noted in parentheses above as students move through the program. After three years, faculty review both formative and summative data results for ODP outcomes at once.
