In our Work and Organizational master's program, our educational goals are clear. One objective is to ensure you have a deep understanding of people issues at work, strategies for problem solving, and industry best practices. This knowledge is essential for anyone looking to excel in the dynamic field of organizational psychology.
Our second objective is to prepare you for success in a range of master's-level positions across various professional settings. Our program is about skill building for real-world readiness and ability to thrive in diverse environments.
We achieve these two goals through coursework and the completion of four capstone skill-building projects. The projects focus on talent assessment and validation, employee learning and development, benchmarking organizational practices, and survey design, implementation and analysis. These projects are directly relevant to duties performed as an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist and provide you with a portfolio to demonstrate your expertise in these areas.
Students pursuing the Master of Science Degree in Work and Organizational Psychology will develop knowledge and skills in organizational theory, methods, and practice relevant to the role and responsibilities of positions in organizational psychology that meet professional practice standards. Graduates will be prepared to work as master’s-level positions in a variety of professional settings.
Additional information about the requirements may be found in the Academic Programs Catalog on the Office of the Registrar website.
