Doctor of Psychology -- Organizational

This program equips students to develop competency in six domains: teacher, learner, scholar, researcher, leader, and advocate. These six areas provide the mature learner with a solid foundation for future professional practices. The program expands upon the subject matter offered in many master-level degrees. Core organizational classes expose students to a wide array of knowledge, applications, and approaches, with three core courses focusing on the individual, three on the group, and three on the organization. In each case, one of the three courses is concerned with theory, one concerned with assessment, and the third concerned with intervention. This degree meets the educational requirements of the Board of Psychology for licensure in the State of California as a Psychologist, though most graduates do not choose to obtain State licensing. This program requires completion of 116 units.

The degree is taught using an innovative tutorial format. Tutorial formats are structured so that students meet individually, in person or by phone, with guiding faculty for many courses. Students have fewer contact hours with faculty than the traditional, residential course model and instead have more independent reading and research to prepare for instructional time.
