Industrial/Organizational Psychology
The specialization in Industrial/Organizational Psychology is designed for learners interested in group or organizational behavior in the work place and other organizational settings. Learners in this specialization are interested in leadership issues, group development, organizational change strategies, motivational and performance enhancement concerns, and human resource management (including employee support services). Graduates typically pursue positions as clinicians, consultants, professors, or as staff psychologists in businesses and government. Doctoral graduates have greater opportunities to teach at the graduate level and access to a broader range of consulting opportunities.

Pursuing graduate education in this increasingly complex discipline requires careful examination of four factors: 1) your interests, 2) educational opportunities, 3) employment and professional aspirations, and 4) requirements for licensure. Then you must consider how you will integrate high quality education and required residencies into your life. Seem complicated? Not at Capella University. Our programs are designed so you learn through a blend of theoretical principles, research and applied experiences. We accomplish this through a combination of online coursework and dispersed residency.
