Phillips Graduate University’s Organizational Management and Consulting Program (OMC) is designed to develop or enhance the personal and professional skills of consultants, managers, and leaders. Organizations large and small, for-profit and non-profit, increasingly engage people with behavioral science education and training to address a wide range of human systems-related issues in the workplace. The application of psychology to business is a booming and expanding field, and the focus of Phillips’ program is to educate and train leaders and consultants to meet the challenges of organizations in the 21st century. Building on three (3) decades of research and experience in human relations, the OMC program integrates research in human behavior with contemporary business practice.

Phillips Graduate University, based in Chatsworth, California, offers advanced education and training programs including psychology, management, and counseling. Thousands of our graduates of our Doctors of Organizational Management & Consulting and Masters in Psychology are global leaders in corporate management, school counseling, and family therapy. PGU also operates many research programs and community services, including the MFT Consortium Programs.

In the 1950s its founders, Clinton E. Phillips, Ph.D., and David Jansen, D.Min., had pioneered the application of family systems theory and the initiation of family therapy at the American Institute of Family Relations, founded by Paul Popenoe. In 1971 they founded the California Family Study Center which, in 1992, was renamed in Dr. Phillips' honor. In 2016, Phillips Graduate Institute changed its name to Phillips Graduate University. PGU’s Counseling Center has helped over 30,000 families reach a higher level of functioning and lead more productive lives.
