UNC Charlotte's acclaimed master's program in Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology (View Rankings Here) equips students with expertise to enhance workplace environments for both employees and organizations. The curriculum rests on five core pillars: Leadership, Organizational Transformation, Talent Management, Workplace Culture, and Data Analytics. Our program aligns with the educational standards established by The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, the leading professional association in our field.
Designed for working professionals, our I/O Psychology master's program offers evening and weekend classes exclusively at our Center City Building (320 E 9th St.) in uptown Charlotte. Unlike traditional programs, ours emphasizes practical application over academic research, reflecting our mission to develop scientist-practitioners in the field. As part of UNC Charlotte's Psychological Science department and the broader university community, our program actively promotes social justice and inclusion. We invite you to review our department's social justice commitment, which outlines our principles and ongoing initiatives to evaluate and improve our practices.

Qualification Requirements
Test Scores - Submit scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or Miller Analogies Test (MAT). The I/O program will accept scores from any one of these tests.
Letters of Recommendation - Two letters of recommendation from working professionals who received a bachelor's degree more than five years ago are suggested to seek out recommenders who can speak to their capabilities and potential as an I/O or HR professional (e.g., supervisors, coworkers, individuals with an advanced I/O degree). Applicants who have recently graduated from a bachelor's program, should seek out academic recommenders who can speak to their potential for graduate studies.
Statement of Purpose - Minimally, the statement should address: (a) motivation for seeking a degree in I/O psychology, (b) preparation for graduate studies in I/O Psychology, and (c) expectation of how the degree will positively impact your career. Statements should be kept to approximately two pages.
Degree - Applicants must also have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by an accepted accrediting body (the Graduate School requires that applicants upload transcripts from each institution attended). While a degree in psychology or business is not required, applicants with backgrounds in these disciplines may be given preferential treatment.GPA 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale)
For non-native English language speakers: official and satisfactory scores on the English language proficiency scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are required.
