The Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication

The Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication draws from a broad range of resources within the university, including organizational management, psychology, communication, economics, and statistics. Its academic programs tie managerial and executive success to the integration of knowledge in three key areas: strategy and change management, leadership and communication, and performance and talent management.

Part of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the program prepares individuals to analyze and solve problems by synthesizing information, rethinking work processes, enhancing collaboration, shaping the organizational culture, integrating the interests of stakeholders and steering the organization toward success has a history as old as the university itself, with academic work in rhetoric dating back to the original charter in 1821.
