Overview

Adler University offers both a Master of Arts and Master of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, giving students the choice between a thesis or an applied research project.

Also known as workplace psychology, students have two pathways: the MAIOP, which focuses on conducting original research through a traditional thesis process, and the MIOP, which culminates in a literature-based capstone project – each option providing an opportunity for students to become subject matter experts in their field of study.

The Industrial and Organizational Psychology programme from Adler University uniquely integrate theoretical knowledge, evidence-based practices, and psychological insights incorporating real-world applications. Students gain expertise in psychometric assessment, strategic hiring practices, and leadership development, and learn to master change management strategies that enhance workplace well-being, drive performance, and generate significant organizational impact.
