Human Dimensions of Organizations

A 15-month program designed for working professionals. Courses are led by UT Austin’s top faculty and cover topics such as leadership, communication, ethics, change management, and decision-making.

HDO teaches students to use the disciplines of the liberal arts—the humanities, and the social and behavioral sciences—to understand workplace interactions and how organizations can best serve their employees, customers, and clients.

Drawing upon an innovative combination of liberal arts, behavioral sciences, and social sciences, HDO was designed to meet a need not addressed by existing education options: providing a deep understanding of people, the key components of any organization.
