M.A. in psychology at APSU now M.A. in I-O psychology

Clarksville, TN – The Master of Arts in psychology at Austin Peay State University is now the M.A. in industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology.

The APSU Department of Psychology recently changed the name of the graduate degree program. I-O psychology is the behavioral science that creates psychologically-based programs and systems to build positive and productive relationships between employers and employees.

“This title change reflects the reality that students at Austin Peay are receiving an in-depth exposure to major areas within the field of I-O psychology and not simply pursuing a general psychology program,” said Dr. David Denton, dean of the APSU College of Behavioral and Health Sciences and an I-O psychologist. “This change will raise the visibility of the program for potential employers, and thus enhance the job prospects of our graduates.”

For more information about the M.A. in I-O psychology offered online at APSU, contact Dr. Uma Iyer, program coordinator, at 931-221-6331 or iyeru@apsu.edu.
