Benedictine University dedicates itself
to the education of students from diverse ethnic, racial
and religious backgrounds. As an academic community committed
to liberal arts and professional education, distinguished
and guided by its Roman Catholic tradition and Benedictine
heritage, the University prepares its students for a lifetime
as active, informed and responsible citizens and leaders
in the world community. To mirror this philosophy, and
after several years of preparation, in 1996 Benedictine
University began the Ph.D. in Organization Development.
The Ph.D. program in Organization Development
is committed to preparing management professionals with
state-of-the-art education in the field. The program is
dedicated to promote a better understanding of the work
of the OD professional within the context of global trends
and emerging problems.
Coursework is designed for organization
development professionals who perceive the management
of change and the creation of high-performance organizations
as a central part of their career. It is designed as a
full-time program (approximately eight credit hours per
quarter) to be integrated with and complementary to full-time
work activities.
Built on a 35-year history of successful
graduate-level OD education, this program is intended
for persons with extensive experience and currently holding
responsible positions either in organization development,
management, or in a closely allied field such as human
resource management.
Historically, the master's level OD program
at Benedictine University was one of the first graduate
level OD programs in the country. It is the third largest
behaviorally oriented management program, and is one of
the top-rated graduate OD programs internationally.
The mission of the Ph.D. program in Organization
Development at Benedictine University is to provide degree
candidates with broad-based knowledge of theory and research
with the intent of applying this knowledge to practice.
The program is designed, in cohort format, to furnish
instruction and professional supervision to present and
future OD practitioners/scholars for leadership roles
as consultants (internal and external), senior level managers
and scholars in a variety of settings.
