Description:

Industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology is one of psychology’s fastest-growing specialties: the scientific study of how human beings shape the business world, and how businesses shape human beings, the groups to which they belong, and the communities in which they live. I/O professionals apply that expertise to working with individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and systems to promote both human and organizational health.

The Training and Development concentration prepares students to analyze and create effective training and development programs from a strategic, organization-wide standpoint. As part of the concentration, students learn how to build, improve, and implement programs inclusive of the organization’s various populations, including e-learning programs, needs assessments, and performance development.
