Are You Still Looking for Elective Course Options for Summer? Here are a Couple Relevant to Business Majors!

I'd like to draw your attention and encourage you to take one (or both!) of the I/O Psychology courses this summer:  Psych 2171 and/or Psych 3174.  I've taught them online for many years and have received feedback that they are both a lot of fun and very helpful for undergraduate students.

I would also like to highlight that in these uncertain times of employment, both of these classes are very important, particularly for undergraduate psychology students.  They provide our students with insights about the psychology of working from the perspective of individual employees, working in groups, and managers can give you a real edge in hiring.  Further, a concentration in the I/O courses we offer (of which these two are the most common) could even help you with a job in Human Resources once you graduate.

Certainly, organizations from around Charlotte strongly consider our Psychology undergrads if they've had one or more of these courses.  (Not to give you hints for the first couple of homework assignments, but you will review some of the online information about hiring undergrads with Psychology degrees and Human Resources is one of the professions delighted to hire our students with I/O Psychology background). At the very least, if you are on the job market NOW and have taken these classes you should talk about it in your cover letters and interviews.

If you have ANY questions about either the Intro to I/O Psychology Psych 2717 or Organizational Psychology Psych 3174 courses please do not hesitate to contact me, Dr. Anita Blanchard, at Alblanch@uncc.edu.

Thanks!

Dr. B
