Overview

About the program

Industrial and Organizational Psychology students are expected to obtain a firm grounding in several basic areas of psychology and research methodology, as well as a thorough foundation in theory, research, and practical techniques specific to I/O psychology.

Our program at Colorado State University emphasizes the contributions of both industrial and organizational psychology to the understanding of workplace behavior. We train students to conduct both basic and applied research, and to apply of theory and research to organizational and human resource management problems in organizations.

Past graduates have moved comfortably into jobs in personnel research departments of industrial and governmental organizations, psychology departments and business schools in universities, consulting firms, and research institutes.

The CSU Department of Psychology offers a training concentration in Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) to students enrolled in the Ph.D. program. OHP is the application of psychological theories and research methods to protect and promote worker safety, health and well-being. OHP trainees are required to complete additional coursework in occupational health (Occupational Health Psychology, Principles of Ergonomics, and Prevention of Occupational Illnesses and Injuries) beyond the I/O psychology doctoral degree requirements. In addition to their coursework, OHP trainees conduct research in occupational health psychology, participate in multidisciplinary applied occupational health projects, and coordinate, deliver, and attend workshops and colloquia. Each student’s OHP program of study is discussed with and agreed upon by the student’s doctoral committee.
