UG.BS.ORGTD - Organizational Training & Development, BS

The Bachelor of Science in Organizational Training and Development prepares graduates to understand the philosophical, theoretical, and practical nature of a variety of social organizations with a view toward entry level employment as trainers of adult stakeholders in a variety of employment and community contexts. Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to organize, develop, plan, lead, and assess a range of professional development and adult training programs to foster the individual growth and development of adults associated with a variety of organizational contexts. The philosophy underlying this program is derived from adult learning theory: that adults are uniquely motivated internally as they move through a range of life stages and phases, and that their life experiences are unique resources to develop personal agency, critical thinking ability, and reflective practice suitable for leadership in a wide range of professional and vocational training environments. The program seeks to harness the unique contributions of the university's Liberal Arts core--and its long history of association with adult education--and a minor in Ethics, drawn from the departments of Philosophy and Religion, to foster the development of systems training professionals for diverse organizational contexts.
