The bachelor of interdisciplinary studies in organizational studies prepares students with a wide breadth of knowledge toward the understanding of organizational structures such as committees or businesses. As an interdisciplinary program, the degree will grant knowledge in many various fields such as sociology, economics, and psychology. Behavioral studies of people in groups will be especially effective at enabling studies to make sense of how people interact in both structured and unstructured interactive environments. Important topics such as diversity, communication, and management will further hone the student’s skills. As always, technology and its impact on people and communication will be important for an understanding of modern organizations.
