MA SpecializationsStudents who wish to specialize in industrial or organizational psychology (or a balanced combination of the two) should apply for the MA in I/O program. Students in the General program who decide later to specialize in I/O can request a transfer to the I/O program, but due to the current high demand for our I/O program we cannot guarantee that such requests will be accommodated. If a General student is allowed to transfer to I/O, and has taken no more than five courses outside of the I/O requirements, he/she will be able to complete the I/O program without taking more than the required 36 credits.Students in the MA General program may choose to specialize in a particular area of psychology. Our wide range of courses, and the research projects in our five doctoral programs, provide many such opportunities. The specializations listed below are just suggestions, and are not meant to be exhaustive. Students, in collaboration with an advisor, may devise their own specialization. HOWEVER, ALL STUDENTS IN THE GENERAL PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF SPECIALIZATION, MUST MEET THE CORE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MA IN GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY AS LISTED IN THE CURRICULUM. Suggested specializations are listed below, along with the three MA courses most central to each specialization. Two specializations that are not listed below, but which can be created with appropriate doctoral courses (and special permission) are: Community Psychology and Quantitative Psychology.
