Deciding on a Masters vs a PhD? Perhaps Dr. Blocker’s chart can help:
Business students: For career information and occupational outlook for management, visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here is a guide to Business PhD Programs from Wharton and another from students at Harvard Business School.
Psychology students: To learn more about what I-O psychologists do, download my I-O presentation to Psi-Chi here. For more information, see this site and this one, too. You can also find more general information about applying to grad school in Industrial-Organizational psychology at the SIOP graduate program website and on this blog by Dr. Richard Landers at Old Dominion University. To learn about the occupational outlook for I-O psychology, visit this Bureau of Labor Statistics site.
