About this course

Understanding Leading Organizational Change for your DSU credit.

What is Leading Organizational Change?

Leading Organizational Change is the study of how leaders guide people, teams, and whole organizations through change. It looks at why change happens, how leadership styles affect the process, and how structures, communication, and power shape what people do when a business is trying to move in a new direction.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons that cover why organizations change, how leadership styles shape the process, and how power and communication influence what people do. Your grade is weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam, so the final exam carries the most weight. When you complete the course, the transcript credit goes to Dunlap-Stone University, which recognizes it as BUS-113 – Topics in Contemporary Business or Business Elective.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you tell the difference between managing a process and leading people through it, and it gives you practical tools for stakeholder communication and handling resistance to change. Those skills apply whether you are coordinating a team project or pursuing a promotion. At DSU, the credit can count toward the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, or, as a business elective, the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology.

Skills you walk away with

distinguishing leadership from management rolesapplying leadership theories to change problemsadapting leadership styles to different business contextsanalyzing power and its effect on changeidentifying internal and external drivers of organizational changeplanning and communicating change strategiesworking with stakeholders during change processes

Taking this course toward DSU

After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University, and DSU's registrar applies the named recognition as BUS-113 – Topics in Contemporary Business or Business Elective. That means the credit maps to a specific catalog code rather than a generic transfer placeholder, which makes it easier to place in your degree plan. Transfer credit at DSU is capped at 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, so this three-credit course counts toward that ceiling. Check with DSU advising before enrolling to confirm where the credit will fit in your specific program.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults who want credit for a business topic they already deal with on the job, degree-finishers who need a few remaining credits, and cost-conscious students looking to avoid paying DSU's $475 per-credit rate for this material. Because transfer credit is capped at 90 credits (75%) at DSU, it works best for students who still have enough DSU-earned credit to meet residency and degree requirements. It is not a good fit for students who want live instruction or group discussion, since the format is self-paced, or for anyone who expects this course to satisfy a specific named requirement other than BUS-113 or a business elective.
