Managing Organizational Systems, Humane Education Specialization, Ph.D.

Return to: College of Social Sciences

The specialization in Humane Education is the result of a partnership with the Institute for Humane Education (IHE) and Valparaiso University. IHE students can enroll to complete their Ph.D. in Organizational Systems.  The specialization emphasizes organizational management within educational systems at all levels and the unique organizational culture of educational institutions.  Up to 18 credits of humane education courses through the Institute of Humane Education (IHE)/Valparaiso University, of that coursework is transferrable into the Ph.D. in Organizational Systems program to meet the specialization requirements.

All IHE courses with the exception of the first year’s summer residency are delivered as distance learning courses. The summer residency is held in Maine. Courses with IHE are delivered online through Valparaiso University/IHE; all others are delivered through Saybrook.

The specialization is comprised of six courses (18 credits completed at IHE/Valparaiso).
