Industrial / Organizational Psychology Track

This track is intended for two groups of students: those who wish to pursue graduate training in I/O psychology and those seeking employment in I/O-related areas. Students will prepare for entry level positions in a variety of work settings that involve job analysis, staffing, training, and performance evaluation.

Students should select their courses carefully and consult with the Department of Psychology early in their program. Course prerequisites must be observed. Note that a limit of ten courses may be taken in the Boler School of Business by non School of Business students.
