Do you enjoy resolving conflicts and working on team building? Do you see yourself working in non-profit agencies, human resources departments or with adult education? The Bachelor of Arts in Adult and Organizational Development (AOD) focuses on Applied Communication.

This degree prepares students who are interested in a career in education and training, but who are not planning to pursue a conventional teacher certification track. Students in this major are provided critical knowledge and skills in how to construct and facilitate effective learning and change situations in organizational, community, and professional contexts.
