Why Choose Adizes Graduate School?
Just ask our students!
Adizes Graduate School is committed to creating a broad, interdisciplinary theory base from which new ideas for the enhancement of organizational and societal growth can emerge.
The school offers two important and completely unique subjects integrated throughout the degree programs: Adizes methodology, and Spiral Dynamics. Live public seminars in these subjects are offered each year.
What are the Goals of the Ph.D. and Clinical Doctoral Programs?
The goal of the online Degree Programs is to build new models for managing change by exploring how change occurs across disciplines and cultures, searching for natural system designs and commonalities in change management on the individual, organizational and societal levels. The Ph.D. program is designed to enable degree candidates to develop their own model of managing change in its various manifestations through the analysis and critical examination of existing literature and methods in science, philosophy, and the humanities, seeking commonalities.
The Clinical Doctoral program, with three areas of specialization, trains practitioners to implement the long-proven Adizes method for facilitating organizational vitality - the ability of an organization to be both flexible and controlled, and the ability to manage ongoing evolution and transformation in an accelerated global environment without destructive conflict. Succinctly stated, the goal of the Clinical Programs is to train organizations to manage complexity.
Adizes Graduate School is approved by:
The Bureau for Private, Postsecondary and Vocational Education for the State of California (BPPVE)
What are the benefits of working online?
The degree programs online differ from traditional university programs in that they are not presented in a lecture/auditorium format. Rather than taking a seat in the back of the auditorium with a hundred less experienced college-age students, AGS provides flexible accessibility with structured academic course work. AGS graduate students are your professional peers. With an on-line program, AGS is able to attract participants from diverse parts of the global professional community. You will benefit from up-front focus, comprehensive feedback, and in-depth communication in small (5-10 person maximum), intensely directed courses. Communication online contains great depth, and requires extensive scholarly interaction and thorough time commitment. Are you ready?
What are the online classes like?
Participate in a lively, interactive Web-based graduate seminar that is always available to fit your professional schedule! There is no software to download or buy. You will be guided by faculty with extensive experience in designing and delivering a graduate program over the Internet. Faculty are active facilitators, bringing informed perspectives to bear on world issues that you, your institutions, and your societies face.
AGS seminars demand significant reading, in-depth writing and personal focus in small classes, similar to the British tutorial system. You will discuss contemporary crises and future trends with a
circle of global thinkers who inspire change and international progress. Are you qualified?
Adizes Graduate programs create an intellectual dialogue strongly and consistently facilitated with an infusion of issues raised by your living case studies. Open forums are also your arena for discussion of great books within the context of the social, political, economic and global
challenges that the new millennium presents. Socratic dialogue enables participants to gain perspective from your peers.
