Penn’s Organizational Dynamics Programs

Understanding the people side of work

Penn’s Organizational Dynamics Programs study the people, systems, and cultures that shape—and can reshape—our work lives. By equipping mid-career professionals with the essential tools to improve organizational life, our programs fuse research-based knowledge rooted in the arts and sciences with practical applications. This approach examines the subtleties of human behavior within existing systems, addresses multi-dimensional challenges, and transforms organizational culture.

We offer two degrees: a Master of Science and a Master of Philosophy. We also offer learning opportunities for non-degree students.

As an Organizational Dynamics Programs degree student, you will:

• Build outstanding networks with members of Penn's world-renowned faculty and talented peers who span industries across the world
• Choose from concentrations such as Leadership and Organizational Coaching, Organizational Communication Strategies, and Organizational Culture and Change
• Work with Penn faculty to design an experience that is profoundly relevant to your professional goals
• Immerse yourself in practical, academically rigorous learning experiences structured to meet the needs and time demands of busy working professionals

If you are interested in studying organizational dynamics without committing to a degree, the Organizational Dynamics Gateway program offers the opportunity to unlock your professional potential by taking up to two courses.

Our programs give you the confidence to take on greater cross-functional responsibilities, facilitate change and innovation, and ultimately impact performance throughout your organization.
