The Organizational Development Program offers a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Organizational Development that prepares students for positions as supervisors, project leaders, change agents, and trainers in a variety of organizational settings. The B.S. in Organizational Development degree may not be awarded simultaneously with another degree or awarded to a student who already holds a bachelor's degree.
To apply for admission to the Organizational Development program (ODL), a student must:
1. Have earned a minimum of 30 credit hours from a regionally accredited institution;
2. Have earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50 or higher;
Students that do not meet these admission requirements, but meet EIU's general transfer admission requirements will have their application reviewed by the Organizational Development program coordinator. Following this review, students may be required to participate in a pre-entry interview or submit a new application for consideration at a later time.
