ORLD Educational Model

The ORLD program utilizes the cohort model; students who begin their doctoral journey the same semester follow the same sequence of courses until they start preparing for comps. The cohort model is a powerful pedagogical tool that allows students to pursue the core of the Ph.D. courses at the same pace and facilitates the development of a multidisciplinary knowledge base in leadership studies. Through the cohort model, students are able to reinforce each other by sharing face-to-face and e-learning experiences. The ORLD program intends to develop and equip students for lifelong learning.

The Ph.D. Program in Organizational Leadership (ORLD) is based on a blended educational model that uniquely combines face-to-face classes during alternate weekends with intermittent online delivery of instructional materials and integrative assignments. The program emphasizes students’ autonomy and self-directed learning in the development of scholarly understanding of leadership theory, research practice, and applications.

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is a sequel/continuation of the ORLD 601 course. This course further examines leadership theories in depth and its application to research. The course provides insights on how to utilize leadership theories as a theoretical framework and foundation for research in leadership studies. Students are encouraged in this course to be grounded in leadership theories in order to use them as a foundation for research or to critically evaluate empirical research studies. Methods and practices that influence leadership and organizations will be explored based on the theory used. Emphasis on leadership and organizational performance outcomes and how implementations impact emerging global markets will be presented. Also explored will be the human, conceptual, and technical skills required of all policymakers working collaboratively within organizations to achieve individual, organizational and societal goals.
