Doctorate in Organization Development And Change
Building on the Cabrini tradition of preparing graduates who are committed to social justice and making significant contributions to their workplace, local communities, and global initiatives, the Doctorate in Organization Development and Change is designed for mid- and senior-level executives and other experienced practitioners from all sectors of the workplace who are interested in studying and advancing theory, research, and practice in the disciplines of organization development, change management, and leadership.
Combining state-of-the-art education, visits from world-class scholar-practitioners, and a blended approach to learning, the PhD program focuses on developing skills in research and practice in keeping with the scholar-practitioner model of advanced education.
The 70-credit program is designed to be completed in three or four years. The structure of the program includes two years of coursework which includes weekend (Friday–Sunday) residency sessions held on campus or online approximately every three to four weeks (beginning in May). There are six to seven courses/seminars in each of the first two years of the program. There is also a substantive take-home examination due at the end of year one (March–April). The remainder of time in the program is spent in dissertation research and writing.
