ORBH 251: Leading Organizations (LEAD II)

The principal goal of this course is to help students enhance their leadership skills by understanding how organizations function through the lenses of structure, culture, and power/politics.

SOCI 203: Human Development: Medical and Social

This course will provide students with an introduction to key concepts, principles, and debates in the field of human development. We will examine how biological and psychological development interact with — and are shaped by — social environments and forces. These can include families, schools, neighborhoods, peer groups, and workplaces, as well as broader forces such as ideology, policy, and culture. We will explore how patterns of human development that have been taken as “normal” in the modern era can differ greatly across societies and through social change.
