Online New Student Orientation
You start the OMD program with an online orientation course (OMD600) that begins two weeks prior to your first academic trimester. Online Learning, the Fielding Community, and OMD is an online seminar that introduces you to the program’s practices, learning model, delivery method, and technology.
Learning Plan
Your learning plan is a living document that maps your studies based on your own professional and personal goals. You begin creating your learning plan during the online orientation by answering questions about interests, skills, and potential outcomes and competencies.
Within your learning plan, you can combine elective courses into your particular areas of interest, such as:
- Employee and Team Development
- Organization Development Practice and Consulting
- Coaching and Mentoring
- Systems Thinking and Change
Online Courses
You complete 4 online courses, 2 core and 2 electives. Each course lasts 12-weeks and generally operates with weekly or biweekly assignments with access available 24 hours/7 days a week. You can attend full-time with two courses per term, or at any point you may opt to take one course per term. You work independently on recommended readings, assignments, and other assessment criteria provided in the course syllabi, as well as collaborating on group projects. Your course curriculum is integrated and builds upon your previous learning.
