UTC RAVE Alert

I-O Curriculum

Students in the I-O program complete a structured set of core courses, as well as a self-selected set of choices among approved electives. More details on all of these courses can be found here. Sufficient electives are offered within the Psychology department for students to complete their degrees "in-house". Sometimes, students wish to broaden their education, however, and a large number of non-Psychology electives are available through other graduate programs at UTC, typically in Business (Management, Accounting, Marketing, Entrepreneurship), Public Administration, and Public Health.
