Master of Arts in Industrial/Organizational Psychology

As a specialist of human behavior in the workplace, you’ll reach across functions and disciplines, solving problems in human resources, administration, management, sales—wherever people come together for work.

In this program, you will:

• Design and implement organizational interventions
• Complete cutting-edge real-world projects
• Develop critical thinking and communication skills
