Master of Science in Psychology (Industrial/Organizational)

The industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology MS program is dedicated to promoting the connection between science and practice; thus, our curriculum is purposefully structured to balance between research and application. In that way, the program encompasses a holistic view of I/O. The program was designed in accordance with the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Guidelines for Education and Training at the Master's Level in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. The students in our program have the opportunity to be involved with a student-staffed consulting organization, the Industrial and Organizational Psychology Center. The center was established in 2012 as an alternative mode with which to increase the knowledge base of the I/O students. By providing students the opportunity to acquire relevant field experience and to network with local organizations, the center serves as an excellent teaching tool in the development of I/O-related competencies, as well as a mechanism to develop sustainable working relationships with organizations.
