 TThe
Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology area at
LSU is one of the oldest continuously operating I/O
doctoral programs in the country. The mission of this
program is to provide graduate students with the highest
quality education from a scientist-practitioner perspective,
and to enable graduate students to acquire the knowledge,
skills and abilities associated with I/O psychological
theories, principles, research methods, and ethics.
The small program size allows for personalized graduate
training for employment in academia, industry, government,
and consulting, with the goal of improving organizational
effectiveness. Our graduate program emphasizes research
using multiple methodological tools, and encourages
training in complementary disciplines including business
management and information sciences, among many others.
Graduate students in the I/O area take a variety
of courses (e.g., personnel selection; training; groups
& teams; leadership; motivation; organizational
development; etc.), engage in both field and laboratory
research with faculty, and participate in team projects
with area businesses and industry. LSU is one of only
two I/O doctoral programs in the state, and is located
in the city of Baton Rouge, the state’s government
capital and industry center. Employment opportunities
after graduation are plentiful, with approximately
50% of graduates pursuing careers in private applied
positions, 30 % with consulting firms, and 20% in
academic environments.
