*New for Psychology Undergrads:

 

Students may choose to concentrate in Work and Organizational Psychology by completing PSYC 333 (Industrial and Organizational Psychology) plus three of the five courses listed below (12-13 credits in total). This concentration may be of interest to students who are planning to attend graduate school in industrial and organizational (I/O) psychology or a related field such as organizational behavior or human resources management. Students who are considering a career in business may find this concentration advantageous for careers in training and development, human resources, and management.  Students who successfully complete the Psychology Department Honors Program (PSYC 490, 491, and 492) with an honors thesis/project focused on I/O psychology may, with approval of their thesis committees and the associate chair for undergraduate studies, substitute their honors work for one course in the concentration.

Courses that may be used to fulfill the remaining requirements for the Work and Organizational concentration are as follows:

• PSYC 320: Psychological Tests and Measurements
• PSYC 335: Psychology of Creativity and Innovation
• PSYC 435: Personnel Training and Development: A Psychological Perspective
• PSYC 467: The Psychology of Working in Groups and Teams
• PSYC 461/592 Special Topics: Work & Family

Students must earn a Minimum GPA of 2.00 in all coursework applied to the concentration.
