Organization Behavior

16 courses (BPhil or BSGS)

Organization behavior is an interdisciplinary major that combines the theoretical understanding of how organizations influence the behaviors and attitudes of individuals with practical applications that allow students to maximize their own roles within such organizations. The major gives students a broad conceptual foundation, drawing upon insights from management theory, social psychology, sociology and communication studies, while developing the communication and analytical skills needed to pursue careers in management, consulting, human resources or entrepreneurship.
