专业概况

在这里学什么？

Industrial/Organizational (I/O) psychologists are versatile behavioral scientists specializing in human behavior in the workplace. I/O psychologists facilitate responses to issues and problems involving people at work by serving as advisors and catalysts for business, industry, labor, public, academic, community, and health organizations.

The Master’s of Science in Industrial/Organizational (MSIO) Psychology program is a rigorous, 36-unit program designed to prepare students to enhance organizational performance and human well-being in professional settings. Students learn and develop skills through seminars, practicum experience, engagement in research, and development of a professional portfolio or a research thesis.

This full-time program was established specifically to encourage qualified individuals to advance their formal education beyond the bachelor’s degree in areas that emphasize the value of human resources in the industrial community. The program is conceived as leading to a terminal M.S. degree, but some of our students successfully pursue doctorate education. Perhaps due in part to student interest in organizations, the majority of students are employed part time during the program. Such employment can facilitate understanding of Industrial/Organizational theory and provide the opportunity for practical applications of material discussed in the seminars.

A practicum course enables students to implement I/O knowledge and skills in an organization. The capstone of either a portfolio/research project or a traditional thesis provides the opportunity for students to display the culmination of their research and analytical skills.
