General Information
With a rich tradition of over 50 years, the industrial and organizational
(I/O) psychology program at Purdue
University has enjoyed an excellent reputation. More I/O psychologists have
been trained here than at any other university in the world. When I/O
psychologists have been surveyed about the quality of graduate programs, Purdue
has always ranked among the top programs. In a recent Gourman report rating
graduate schools in I/O Psychology, Purdue was ranked number five in the nation.
The graduate program in industrial-organizational psychology is primarily a
Ph.D. program. Training in this program is research-oriented. Students are
strongly encouraged to participate in faculty research and eventually to
formulate and direct their own individual research projects. Teaching experience
is also provided for most students during their graduate program. Most students
enter the Ph.D. program with the bachelor's degree. In a few cases, students
enter the program after having completed the master's degree at another
university.
Graduate students in the industrial-organizational program at Purdue select
one of the primary I/O faculty members as their
major professor for their master's and dissertation research. I/O faculty
members and members specializing in experimental, quantitative, and social
psychology serve as auxiliary members on students' thesis committees, as do
faculty members from the Krannert
Graduate School of Management, communication, and other departments.
I/O faculty research interests are available by clicking

available from the Department
of Psychological Sciences. Please send any updates, revisions, or comments to:
