Organizational and industrial psychology, sometimes referred to as work psychology, personnel psychology or I/O psychology, examines, evaluates and analyzes workplaces, organizations, employees and their interrelationship. Organizational and industrial psychologists are tasked with improving the performance and well-being of an organization by researching and discovering how employee and management behaviors and attitudes can be improved through training programs, feedback and communication systems, management style and hiring practices. Organizational and industrial psychologists also help organizations to make smooth transitions during periods of organizational change and growth.
There are several colleges and universities across the United States that provide bachelor's degrees in organizational and industrial psychology. Individuals who earn a bachelor's degree in organizational psychology typically end up working in human resources, although you'll also be able to land a job in any one of several other fields that traditionally hire psychologists. If you want to expand your job opportunties and qualify yourself for higher pay then we recommend earning a master's degree or graduate degree in organizational psychology.
Students who go on to earn a master's or doctoral degree in organizational and industrial psychology will find various job opportunities in human resources, consulting, government as well as the private sector. The last ten years has seen an increase in the demand for I/O psychologits. This in turn has lead to an increase in the number of schools offering graduate level I/O psychology degree programs.
Below you'll find a list of accredited colleges and universities offering online and campus-based degree programs in organizational and industrial psychology.
