Master of Science in New Professional Studies: Organization Development and Knowledge Management

The Professional Studies in Organization Development and Knowledge Management (ODKM) program addresses fundamental questions of transformation and change in organizations. The program is designed to enable students to ascend professionally by understanding more clearly what is happening in organizations and to develop practices that empower organizations to be successful. To meet the needs of Professionals, the Organization Development and Knowledge Management Master's degree is offered in an 'executive format.' Students attend classes on a Friday and Saturday, every second week.

The interdisciplinary framework is designed for professionals in business, government, and non-profits to move into positions of increased responsibility in a variety of areas. Career choices include organizational development, knowledge management, human resources management, information technology, business process design, organizational change management, and project management.

The degree equips professionals with both knowledge and practices to act effectively in a world that requires networked, interactive ways of working, innovative approaches to managing work, and new concepts of leadership. A prestigious faculty connects theory and practice in a student-center program that provides a tightly integrated learning experience. Students are encouraged to learn from each other by sharing their considerable work and organizational experience, and they work as teams on projects to gain an understanding of how to develop team-based organizations.
