Course Description:
In this course we will compare and contrast positive and negative assessments of organizations by outstanding social scientists. Students will analyze their field experiences in light of concepts from these studies. We will also consider how a liberal-arts education might prepare students to achieve ethical standards in organizations. This seminar is designed for students enrolled in internships in a formal organization (public or private; for-profit or not-for-profit) to place experiences in an academic perspective. This seminar complements your internship by helping you analyze and ground what you have learned in the time in your organization.
