Thank you for your consideration to host a Purdue University Global (PG) Industrial Organizational psychology student for a field placement experience at your facility. The following information will introduce you to Purdue University Global and provide you with important information about the field placement process. The goal of this handbook is to provide you with material that will assist you and our student in a mutually successful experience.
The field placement experience in industrial organizational psychology is designed to prepare graduate student clinicians by extending the program’s didactic and classroom-based experiential components to produce an increasingly sophisticated learning experience. The field placement is designed to integrate academic knowledge with practical experience and prepares the student for future training in professional psychology.
Pursuing a Master of Science in Psychology or Graduate Certificate in Industrial Organizational Psychology from Purdue University Global offer students a unique opportunity to blend the rich, academic tradition of psychology with exciting, contemporary applications of the science. Students will focus on the processes that underlie the individual human experience and behavior, as well as core knowledge, theories, and research in the field.
