Organizational Studies is an interdisciplinary course of study focusing on the following factors that affect cooperative human systems:

  • Administrative
  • Economic
  • Political

  • Public administration
  • Business administration
  • Public health administration
  • Organizational behavior
  • Industrial psychology

  • Sociology
