Hello,

I'm planning to pursue masters in Industrial Organizational psychology. Currently I'm researching more on colleges that provide MA/MS in IO psychology.

There are, albeit few, colleges that are providing MBA in IO psychology. I don't see any discussions so far in this topic, hence wanted to get expert comments on the same.

1. How different is MBA in IO Psy going to be than MA/MS in same ?.
2. How is the demand in job market for this particular concentration of MBA ?.
3. What job roles do you see people doing once they complete their MBA in IO Psy ?.

Dear Mr. Kavyashekar

the biggest difference between mba and msc is that mba will be more general with few courses / elective in IOpsy whereas msc will be much more focused on specfic topic rather than general management so it is depending on your objective of what you are wanting to do in future.
