Overview

The The Industrial/Organizational Psychology program from University of Detroit Mercy equips students with competencies outlined by the Society of Industrial/Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and by the University Detroit Mercy Social Change Model. It also provides career advancement, professional development, as well as entry-level opportunities in private, non-profit and public sector organizations.

As southeastern Michigan’s longest running terminal master’s degree program, this highly specialized and competitive educational and practical experience in I/O psychology is distinct from graduate business education (MBA) and from doctoral training in I/O psychology. Although a very small number of students later go on to pursue doctoral degrees, the intent of the program is career-related employment upon graduation.

Program Advantages

Students engage in managing, leading, enhancing, assessing and evaluating these programs and utilize a variety of industrial/organizational psychology skills to enhance organizational growth and effectiveness.
Students also conduct and/or create job analysis, surveys, training modules, assessment tools, onboarding programs, training manuals, databases, formal presentations, and other industry deliverables that can be shared with future employers in their growing work portfolios. In addition, three of the courses include service learning opportunities.
All students provide a professional presentation to their program peers and prospective students describing their internship, service learning experiences, and gained competencies.
