On-line degree

By Saul Eisen, on 8/9/01.

I don't know of any Master's program in OD that is entirely on-line. Several external programs, such as Fielding, Pepperdine, and Saybrook, do have a significant on-line component, in combination with periodic intensive meetings for a few weeks per year. Our own OD Program at SSU uses extensive online interaction to augment weekly class meetings.

We have considered the possibility of an on-line degree at Sonoma State. Our program provides very rich and intensive coaching on interpersonal competence, group facilitation, and consulting skills. It would be difficult to match that in an on-line format. It may be feasible, though, to offer a single course as a general orientation to the concepts and methods relevant to organization development and redesign. I'd be interested in others' views about this possibility.
