Our very own INDS student, Alyson Stetyick, whose concentration is in Organizational Development, has recently been accepted into UNC Charlotte's Organizational Science PhD Program as a fully-funded doctoral student!

Organizational Science is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry focusing on employee and organizational health, well-being, and effectiveness. Organizational Science is both a science and a practice, founded on the notion that enhanced understanding leads to applications and interventions that benefit the individual, work groups, the organization, the customer, the community, and the larger society in which the organization operates. Doctoral students are involved in field work, research, applied internships, and charity consulting operations through the program's self-run Organizational Science Center, which focuses on providing aid to local non-profits. 

The discipline stems from (in alphabetical order): Human Resources Management, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Organizational Communication, Organizational Sociology and Social Psychology. The program itself spans four departments within UNC Charlotte - the Departments of Psychological Sciences, Communications Studies, Sociology, and the Belk School of Business. Doctoral students are encouraged to co-enroll within Master's programs aligned with these departments within the school; as such, I will also be earning a Master's Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Graduates currently have a 100% employment rate.
