Bachelor of Science in Psychology in Industrial/Organizational Psychology Overview

The online bachelor’s degree in industrial/organizational psychology (I/O) is designed to broaden your knowledge of the principles of psychology as it relates to business and organizational settings.

Managing and motivating talent in the workplace, helping to develop leadership skills, and assessing an organization to improve its effectiveness are just a few of the many business functions that can benefit from psychological insight.

Curriculum in the I/O bachelor’s program uses rigorous methods of psychology as applied to talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance (i.e., improvement, management), and work-life balance.
