CTU has a similar policy -- you have to sign a form stating you want excess funds returned to the

source
providing the financial aid or you wish have receive this money as a stipend refund. If you choose a stipend
refund, you will receive a Higher One card where all refunds will be credited. Once CTU requests funds, the
government has 10 days to release these monies. Upon release, CTU updates your Accounts page and you
either see a credit or a debit balance. If you have additional funding sources, a full credit balance will not appear
until all funding sources are credited to your account. Once all sources are credited to your account and you are
due a stipend refund, CTU has up to 14 days to release these monies to Higher One. Once Higher One receives
these monies, you can expect to see a deposit within 24-48 hours. John, I hope you find this information helpful.
Have a good week and a nice weekend.

Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Organizational Behavior Concentration (Program delivered via Virtual Campus)
The study of organizational behavior examines workplace issues that impact individuals, groups, and organizations. The psychology
of organizational behavior examines issues such as developing human talent and resources, consulting, coaching and mentoring,
creating learning organizations, dealing with change, promoting organizational improvements, and fostering personal growth and
professional success. The fields of business, management, leadership, labor and industrial relations, ergonomics, physiology and
medicine, and law help identify the many factors that influence organizations. Tools such as assessment, intervention, consultation,
and evaluation help researchers better understand organizational behavior.
Managers and leaders in government, community, business, industrial, health, educational, consulting, labor, research and other
work-related organizations regularly utilize organizational behavior information. The goal of organizational behavior studies is to
better understand the changing nature of the workplace and apply that information to organizations.
The success of your organization doesnt depend on your understanding of economics, or organizational development, or
marketing. It depends, quite simply, on your understanding of human psychology: how each individual employee connects with your
company and how each individual employee connects with your customers. from Follow this Path, How the Worlds Greatest
Organizations Drive Growth, Coffman and Gonzalez-Molina, Warner Books, 2002
Program Outcomes :
Students are prepared to utilize psychological theory and apply concepts to influence their chosen profession.
Students are prepared to integrate and apply organizational behavior principles within the workplace.
