I-O Psychology is the science of psychology applied to all aspects of the workplace (the people, the processes, the environment). We have a rigorous scientist-practitioner style program that is fully online and delivered asynchronously. Our program is aimed at busy adults continuing education after being in the workforce AND students nearing the end of their bachelor's degrees. With this degree, you will be prepared to work as an I-O practitioner at the Master's level, or continue to doctoral studies in a related field. **See the flyer below and join us to learn more!**
