Why Walsh?

• Blended curriculum. Our Organizational Development and Leadership major is a unique program that mixes theory and practical skills that are found in our Sociology, Psychology, Communication and other coursework.
• Emphasis on ethics. As part of our Catholic mission, we stress ethics and responsibility within the coursework and the practices of this major.
• Accelerated Format. Designed for busy, working adults, this degree can be completed by taking online courses offered in accelerated 8-week sessions. 

Course Information

All students will take the Organizational Development and Leadership core courses, which include a combination of Sociology, Psychology and Behavioral Science coursework. In addition, each student must select two areas of concentration from either Organizational Promotion, Resource Development, or Corporate Communications (one of which may be organizational promotion or resource development - not both). These concentrations offer a mix of digital applications, and communications coursework. 

In addition, students have the option of working toward their MBA degree through Walsh's 4+1 MBA program. These students will be required to complete the prep series courses in additional to the required undergraduate coursework.
