Master of Science in Organization Development

Lead Effective, Strategic Organizational Development Through a Global Lens

Successful organizations thrive when leaders possess not only a strong business acumen, but also a commitment to elevating their human enterprise. Pepperdine Graziadio's hybrid MS in Organization Development (MSOD) program has earned an international reputation as the premier graduate degree in the organization development field and as an innovator of experiential learning.

Designed for experienced professionals, the program offers a global perspective on strategic change and its impact on organizational effectiveness, while building multicultural competencies critical to business today. Students travel to domestic and international destinations on three different continents (China; Costa Rica; France; Malibu, California; Monterey, California; and Washington, DC) for intensive face-to-face courses where they gain invaluable field experience at leading-edge businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top business schools in the nation, the Graziadio School offers a wide continuum of doctoral, MBA, MS, and executive degree programs across multiple Southern California campuses.

Through programs such as Education-to-Business (E2B) and Social, Environmentally, and Ethically Responsible (SEER) Business Strategy, we create opportunities for students to experience business in a way that George Graziadio intended—as Best for the World Leaders making a meaningful impact around the globe.
