Organizational studies is built on a foundation of three disciplines--sociology, economics, and psychology. Each discipline contributes a unique lens through which to see organizations, their forms, and their processes. These three perspectives together give students broad scope for understanding an organizational world. The Interdisciplinary Program in Organizational Studies provides students with grounding in each of these disciplines and allows them the flexibility to take a wide range of classes from many departments across the University of Michigan. With our tight-knit community, well-connected alumni network, and intellectually rigorous curriculum, Organizational Studies is designed to advance leaders for the twenty-first century.
