Industrial-Organizational Psychology (MA)/(PhD)

DePaul’s Industrial-Organizational Psychology MAPhD program will provide you with a solid grounding in psychological theory and essential training in methodology. As an Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology graduate student, you’ll collaborate with a faculty expert to develop and implement new research ideas while contributing to developments in the field. You’ll study motivation, leadership, training, performance appraisal, organizational theory and consultation. You have the option to add a secondary specialization with coursework in communication, management, marketing, or women’s and gender studies. The Industrial-Organizational Psychology MAPhD is a combined degree program. The MA is non-terminal and the program admits only students intending to earn the PhD. Classes are offered during the day on the Lincoln Park Campus. This program can be completed in four years.

The Industrial/Organizational Psychology program typically admits three students per year, based on a combination of grades, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and faculty–student fit. Applications are due no later than December 15
