Industrial and Organizational Psychology Minor

The Industrial/Organizational Psychology minor is an interdisciplinary program between the Psychology department in the College of Arts & Science and the Management Department of the Haub School of Business.  According to the US Department of Labor, Industrial/Organizational Psychology is the fastest-growing subfield of psychology, with a 26% growth rate projected from 2008 – 2018, and 53.4% between 2012 and 2022. Furthermore, Psychology is one of the primary sub-disciplines of Management and is a particular point of emphasis in Human Resource Management (e.g. recruitment, selection, motivation, and training) and Organizational Behavior (teams, negotiation, stress, satisfaction, and commitment). This minor is one of the few undergraduate minors in the country in this area; the interdisciplinary nature of it allows us to offer expertise in both Psychology and Management.
