Department of Organizational Development and Leadership
School of Professional and Applied Psychology
The Department of Organizational Development and Leadership is dedicated to training
practitioner-scholars who apply the art and science of leadership theories and models
coupled with individual self-awareness to create a positive organizational culture,
improve the performance of organizations and maximize human potential in the not-for-profit
and for-profit sectors.
At PCOM, leadership graduate students focus on understanding the whole organization
from a systems-based perspective that is consistent with the osteopathic philosophy
of the university. The curriculum focuses on interprofessional collaboration, advocacy,
individual and cultural diversity, and serving the underserved. Our faculty includes
highly credentialed and respected practitioners and scholars with expertise in organizational
development, leadership and change management who mentor students and provide a collaborative
learning environment.
