Business, Industrial and Organizational Psychology

The Business, Industrial and Organizational Psychology concentration applies psychological theories and evaluation methods to organizations to understand human behavior in the workplace and thereby increase productivity and the well-being of employees. Specific careers can be in human resources, employee training, marketing and sales, and organizational development, and performance evaluation.

Students with a B.S. in psychology and the I/O concentration land well-paying jobs right after graduation as a human resource specialist. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that jobs in workforce training and development are expected to increase 7% through 2024. A Minor in Business is recommended for I/O students. Most managerial positions require a master’s degree.
