Fielding’s PhD in Organizational Development and Change (OD & Change) program applies systems theory, management studies, and social sciences to create new approaches to organizational leadership. It is a multidisciplinary degree for scholar-practitioners who want to expand their capacities to bring about positive change in today’s organizations and communities.

As an OD & Change doctoral student, you will develop the knowledge to help organizations and communities thrive in today’s complex world.

Emphasizing a multidisciplinary integration of human and organizational systems, the OD & Change degree creates new approaches to inclusive leadership and sustainability. You will gain knowledge, practice and research skills to empower yourself and others and meet today’s complex organizational and social challenges.

Engage in a global, flexible learning community. As a doctoral student in a distance learning environment, you will have the freedom to live and work in any community. And you will join a learning community that crosses national and disciplinary boundaries.

Fielding was a natural choice for me because it fit my learning style and learning needs, and had an excellent reputation in the field of organizational change and development.
