This B.S. degree is recommended for students planning to gain admission into graduate programs in industrial/organizational psychology. The degree program is general enough to allow entrance into several other areas of psychology at the graduate level, or to consider moving into the more applied aspects of psychology, such as human resource management, organizational behavior, or business-related fields. Six hours of foreign language is required for the B.S. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Spanish is encouraged. Industrial/Organizational Psychology students should avail themselves of advisement in both psychology and business.
Practicum for this degree would be particularly geared towards a placement that matches the major (i.e. in an I/O or HR area). It should be started in the junior year.
BMKT 327 Consumer Behavior, stipulates BMKT 326 Principles of Marketing, as a prerequisite. Completion of this prerequisite as an elective or permission of instructor would be required to take this course.
