'Best' is relevant. Look at licensing requirements where you want to practice after school. Does the state where you want to practice require APA accreditation? And what do you want to specialize in? Start looking at state schools, and then look at schools listed on APA.org, followed by other schools. Look at the school requirements. You may need to take the GRE or another standardized test. You also need to ensure you meet the other requirements, such as GPA and required courses.

Master Business Psychology

Master Business Psychology?
Hello! I am currently studying International Business & Law (bachelor), but I would love to get my master's degree in Business Psychology, does anyone have an idea which universities offer this course? As I've been checking internet and the only school I can find is the Chicago School of Professional Psychology (but this course takes 7 years) and I hope there is an opportunity to do this course in 2 years. I hope someone will be able to help me, thank you in advance!! Sophie

I think that what you are looking for is Industrial/Organizational Psychology or I/O psychology for short. You can find TONS of programs in that. Most are short, and plenty of state schools carry the degree. Seems to be high demand. Good luck!

i know, "Why majoring in Psychology will keep me unemployed for life and its effects on my Id"


2
The incidence of bipolar disorder in Ashkenazi Jews, and how their creativity helped create the movie industry


3
I'm really no expert, but society's evolution and generational changes or something..Like drug culture and sexual revolution, etc.


4
I would suggest the use of anti depressant and the effect they have had over the years.And compare it to traditional therapy and see if thry are really worthwhile or not.Maybe a side by study. Phillip

Happiness in the work place: Does it really result in higher output from workers and what does it take to make workers happy? or, Sexual harrassment in the work place, what constitutes harrassment and how does it affect performance.

I would say the female serial killer, because they are rare. The only problem is, that your degree is with industry. So, I guess it would have to do with the employees. 1) why do they choose this job? 2) What kind of personality wants to do this sort of work? 3) Where did they get the idea of doing this kind of work? 4) When did they decide to do this work? What motivated them? Was it their parents? Did the parents have this same sort of job? Or was it because it was maybe the best paying job around? If it involves toxic chemicals in industry, maybe these employees have a higher level of risk-taking than the average person. Maybe industrial espionage would be the most interesting subject. Other companies hire "moles" to ferret out information about other companies, so they can get ahead. Maybe that line would be best. You might even be able to tie that in with organized crime. But be careful if you do, you don't know who's involved in THAT.

Bipolar disorder. Every degree of it. That fits psychology in every aspect. Congrats on your bachelors. You go girl.

I think Birth Order would be fascinating; and perhaps some of the books have it's relation to jobs.

I have a master's in psychology -actually a specialist degree which is above a masters and allows me to be licensed -that being said, a regular master's degree does not lead to licensure, which means that you will have to work under a licensed psychologist. All setting use ABA to some degree -you do not have to have a specialty to work in those settings and use ABA. However, the addiction counseling is more specialized and would make you a rarer commodity so to speak. I think that would lead to more job security.

Hello, I have a master's in Behavior Analysis. Basically with Behavior Analysis or Applied Behavior Analysis, if you are looking at being a practitioner, you will be working, most likely in one of 2 areas. The first is in the area of autism and developmental disabilities, and the second is OBM (organizational behavior management). Those of us who specialize in autism/developmental disabilities usually end up working in schools or privately as consultants or therapists or in a privately owned clinic or center. I personally work in a privately owned center that services children with autism spectrum disorders. Behavior Analysts specializing in OBM typically work for organizations, offering advice and interventions to maximize employee productivity, improve safety conditions, and other tasks related to improving the organization through increasing or decreasing employees' behavior. A GREAT resource for learning more about applied behavior analysis and what job opportunities are available to you is Chapter 30 of a textbook titled Principles of Behavior. The chapter is available for free on the author's website: http://dickmalott.com/booksarticles/pbe6/webchapters/chapter30.pdf That chapter led me to choosing the right grad program. I hope it helps you too!
