Behavior Course (BSCI 468)

Your First Trimester

An important component to the start of your degree program at the Graziadio School is the "Organizational Behavior" (BSCI 468) course. In this course, you will learn how to view management issues through a behavioral science lens. The honing of written and verbal communication skills is also emphasized throughout the course. 

Personal and Leadership Development Workshop

As part of the "Organizational Behavior" course, there is a Personal and Leadership Development Workshop, which serves as an orientation to the experiential and team-based models of learning used at the Graziadio School. The Workshop requires a three-day commitment (Thursday early afternoon through noon on Saturday). In order to earn credit for the "Organizational Behavior" course, students must complete the Workshop.
