Industrial/Organizational (I-O) Psychology applies psychological principles and data to various work-oriented organizations. The field generally concentrates on two specialties:
- Industrial Psychology: Focuses on traditional work-related issues like personnel selection, performance evaluation, and training.
- Organizational Psychology: Examines how the organizational setting influences individual behavior, covering topics like motivation, job design, and decision-making.
The graduate program follows a scientist-practitioner model, preparing students for careers in academia, research, consulting, and human resources.”
