The Master of Science in Industrial-Organizational Psychology is a 36-credit hour degree program. While most of the coursework in this M.S. program is covered in the fall and winter semesters, you will be expected to take one or two courses in the summer. All students are required to complete internships during the academic year on a part-time basis or during the summer full-time. Most students are able to earn their master's degree in two years; however, students may extend their studies for up to six years.
You will complete three credit hours of internship, which corresponds to three months of part-time field work. You may choose to intern at a consulting firm or in the training division of human resources or personnel department of a major organization. From Fortune 500 corporations to consulting firms and nonprofit organizations, the Chicago metropolitan area will provide you with ample choices for your internship experience.
Although no research requirement is included in the I-O psychology program, you will be exposed to research through your coursework and you may also have the opportunity to assist faculty in their research if you wish.
The I-O psychology program also has an international component for interested students through the Erasmus Mundus European program. Through this agreement, I-O psychology students admitted to this part of the program can collaborate with an international team of students in Europe and spend a month in Valencia, Spain, in the winter.
