GRADUATE PROGRAMS

At the graduate level the Department offers an MBA and an MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The MBA is a 54-credit program with 18 credits in Psychology and the others in business. The MS is a 36-credit program all in psychology. The MS requires a thesis or thesis alternative where the MBA does not. The MS graduate training would be most appropriate for those wishing to continue on for a PhD or those expecting to go into research/academia.

The majority of students in the Master’s Program work full time and take courses on a part-time basis. All courses are given in the evening or weekends. There are jobs available for those with Master’s Degrees in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with most residing in Human Resources.
