Faculty Advising

 

What can you do with an HDO degree? Our majors may move into Human Resources, Organizational Development, Consulting, Nonprofit Leadership, or Civil Service, to name a few possibilities. A degree in HDO prepares you to understand and lead people, manage change, and influence decision-making in any number of organizational settings.

The College’s Liberal Arts Career Services team offers tools to help undergraduates translate their in-class work into real-life jobs.

Current and prospective HDO majors with questions related to the program in general and potential career paths that an HDO degree will prepare you for can schedule a meeting with HDO Assistant Professor of Instruction, Dr. Laura Hernandez-Ehrisman at laura.ehrisman@austin.utexas.edu.

“HDO has given me so many opportunities to explore broad challenges within a wide variety of organizations and to develop a holistic thought process about how I can solve them. I know these experiences of strengthening my creativity and communication skills will be incredibly helpful as a Change Management Consultant after graduation.”
