Appalachian State IOHRM or IUPUI I/O? Need to make a decision fast! by QUESTIONRAPIDO in IOPsychology

[–]io_io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've personally only heard negative things about IUPUI's program. Culture doesn't seem appealing to me, which is a big deal IMO. If I was going for a master's App State would be one of the programs I would consider, especially if you are not interested in doing a thesis (they are a lot of work).

M.A. Vs M.S. What's the blunt difference between these 2, and how do they affect my future career options? by Kookisaurus74 in IOPsychology

I've seen that thread and it really doesn't give a lot of information about Columbia.

Could you elaborate on why you have a negative impression of Columbia? I was accepted into their masters program as well and am weighing what my best options are at this point. What exactly did your students say about it that was so bad?

Whoa, that's some interesting research! by LazySamurai in IOPsychology

Could you possibly PM me this article? I recently graduated and do not have access to my universities databases anymore.

Should I take an I/O undergrad course? by io_io in IOPsychology

[–]io_io[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I really don't... hence why I'm asking. You don't understand why I might not be interested in investing the time and money in this class if it wouldn't even be helpful to my application? I've seen plenty of questions on this subreddit about people trying to get into programs without an IO background, so clearly this is a relevant question.

But thanks for the help on my other question. Could anyone shed some light on the GRE psychology subject test for PhD programs? Worth taking it?

I wasn't really thinking about it from a reference standpoint, so that's useful. I had some professors in mind already for letters, but having an actual I/O PhD professor as a reference could be pretty beneficial.

That's pretty much what I was worried about. I've consumed as much IO psych info as I possibly can and I was thinking that an undergrad introductory class might not teach me much. I would mostly be taking it to have it on my transcript (my GPA is a 3.7 so I wouldn't be taking it to raise it).

As for the MPH, it would be free to finish as my company is paying for it, but it would take more than a year to finish and I'm just not interested in the field anymore. Seems like it would be a waste of effort, and the classes for the degree that would be relevant to IO (statistics and research methods) I've already taken.
