Industrial-Organizational Psychology, J.D./M.A.

Return to the Department of Psychology .

Return to Joint Degree Programs .  

There are two curriculum plans. Option 1 consists of 31 credit hours of psychology and 81 credit hours of law. Option 2 consists of 34 credit hours of psychology and 78 credit hours of law. Both options include all required subjects as established by the College of Law for the Juris Doctorate (J.D.) degree and all required subjects in Industrial-Organizational Psychology as established by the Department of Psychology  for the Master of Arts (M.A.)  degree.

J.D./M.A. students are assigned academic advisors in each program and are expected to consult with those advisors prior to selecting elective courses. These advisors are members of the Joint Degree Committee in cooperation with the Dean of the Graduate School.

This program eliminates 19 hours of coursework which would be required if the programs in law and Industrial-Organizational Psychology were taken separately.

Program requirements are officially described in the Graduate Student Handbook for the M.A. and Ph.D. Programs in Industrial-Organizational Psychology  at The University of Tulsa.
