Curriculum & Requirements

Curriculum & Requirements

Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology Minor

Industrial/Organizational Psychology is an advancing area in psychology and offers great opportunity for collaboration with other majors (e.g., Business).

Notes:

  • only 5 credits will be accepted in transfer from another institution toward the Industrial/Organizational Psychology minor;
  • only 5 credits of the minor may be used in duplication toward another major or minor degree requirement—meaning that PSYC students are not eligible for the I/O minor unless they take an additional 15 credits beyond the required for the major/minor to add the I/O minor to the transcript.
