To complete the I/O concentration, students must finish 45-semester hours of coursework – 30 required semester hours and 15 semester hours of approved electives. The 30-semester hours of required courses span a wide variety of topics within I/O psychology and are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in both research and practice. Furthermore, the 15-semester hours of electives are designed to allow students to further tailor their instruction to better suit their career goals (i.e., research or practice). Overall, our goal is to prepare students for continued academic progression and success in the workplace.
