Description:
The M.A. in Whole Systems Design is a field of academic inquiry
incorporating a unique synthesis of system and design traditions. Students
who value self-designed studies and lifelong learning are challenged to
think systematically, operate holistically, and design creatively. Course
work includes designing and leading whole systems change, personal and
organizational transformation and intervention theory. Students work as
consultant, trainers, writers and artists and come from major corporations,
government, nonprofit organizations, and as self-employed professionals. Two
options are offered: Organization System Renewal (OSR) and Individualized
Study. The OSR program is designed for those involved in facilitation or
organizational change, whether manager, internal or external consultants, or
individuals in leadership roles. There are two OSR programs, one in the
Seattle area and one in the midwest. In the Individualized Study Program,
students set their own degree focus and learning goals, combining individual
interests with program requirements and may concentrate on a theoretical or
application level or a combination of both.
