Our focus on change leadership competencies prepares students to work with a wide diversity of cultural and social identity groups within the global community in organizations that cross sectors.

Milano professional certificates may be earned while also earning a graduate degree at The New School. Many students elect to earn these certificates concurrently to help substantiate an area of specialization within a larger degree program. Concurrent enrollment in the Organizational Development Certificate Program is open to New School graduate degree candidates outside of the MS in Organizational Change Management (OCM). If you are enrolled in a New School graduate program outside of OCM and considering the Organizational Development Certificate, please contact program manager Suzanne Bostwick to inform the program of your intent to pursue the certificate and discuss requirements.
