Concentration in Industrial/Organizational Psychology

The Industrial/Organizational Psychology concentration is an interdisciplinary concentration that combines courses from psychology and business in order to prepare students for careers or graduate study in these areas. Students will be required to successfully complete a set of courses that focus on understanding human behavior as it is applicable to individual and group environments. Both theoretical and practical understanding of these issues will be required, and students will develop an understanding of employer, empoloyee, and consumer dynamics and how to empirically examine issues of relevance in these core groups. Successful completion of this concentration will prepare students for entry-level careers in business and human resources, and for graduate school in industrial and organizational psychology.
