Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial and Organizational Psychology

Program Overview

Industrial and organizational psychology is a fast-growing field with a wealth of career opportunities. Our doctoral curriculum reflects recent developments in the industry, preparing you to solve behavior-based problems within large organizations.

Why choose a PhD in industrial/organizational psychology at CMU?

A doctorate in I/O psychology prepares you to apply psychology to practical workplace problems and improve the quality of life at work.
Our doctorate program combines theory, research and practice to set you up for success. Courses cover the fundamentals of personnel psychology, organizational psychology and research methodology. You’ll also build a foundation in more general theories of psychology, such as advanced social psychology, group dynamics and cognitive psychology.
Beyond the classroom, you’ll work alongside faculty on research projects, thesis papers and other independent research. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through an internship at a local or national business such as Dow Chemical Company, Steelcase, Dow Corning or ICF International.
You’ll graduate ready to develop, implement and evaluate human resource programs through the application of the principles of personnel and organizational psychology. And you’ll be equipped to actively contribute to the field of work psychology.
