Why I chose UT Tyler?

I chose the UT Tyler Ph.D. in HRD program for its focus on Organizational Development and Change. The hybrid format gives me the flexibility to balance work, school, and personal commitments while still engaging in collaborative learning experiences with top HRD faculty. I wanted to add that I have really good top HRD faculty.
