Organizational Behavior is an interdisciplinary topic area, drawing from a variety of academic disciplines. Indeed, the organizational behavior faculty often hold joint appointments and/or have affiliations with departments across campus, including Psychology, Sociology, and Labor and Employment Relations. Faculty members are committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service.

The wide-ranging interests of the faculty coupled with flexible core requirements, provide graduate students with a stimulating environment in which to grow and develop intellectually. We particularly emphasize close faculty-student interaction, and most of our graduates have gained valuable research experience through working and publishing with the faculty. Intellectual freedom and research excellence are hallmarks of the program.
