Adult Learning, Training and Organizational Development strives to be a flexible and dynamic program that accommodates students transitioning in from other majors. AOD courses are offered both at Main campus and at Ambler. Although flexible, a minimum of three semesters is necessary to complete the Adult Learning, Training and Organizational Development BA degree requirements. We strongly advise that no more than two other AOD courses be taken along with ´¡°¿¶ÙÌý4396 Field Research: Practice in Professional Settings, the "capstone" course that is completed during the final semester prior to graduation. This capstone course requires the reflection on and application of Adult Learning, Training and Organizational Development principles gained in prior courses.

Clearance Requirements

Students enrolled in courses that require fieldwork or internships must submit updated child abuse, criminal and drug clearances every year. .
