Undergraduate Students

The I/O program contributes to undergraduate student success by providing opportunities for students to become actively involved in faculty research groups. By volunteering in a research group, our undergrads gain valuable experience learning how field and laboratory research is developed and conducted, building online surveys, analyzing data using SPSS, and interfacing with actual organizational clients. In fact, our undergrads have made a number of outstanding achievements including:

  • Winning $3,500 UH Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to conduct independent research projects
  • Authoring or co-authoring research papers presented at national professional conferences, including SIOP and the Academy of Management
  • Gaining admission into some of the top I/O graduate training programs in the country

Graduate Students

While at UH, our graduate students produce high-quality research that has been published in journals such as Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Journal of Managerial Psychology, Human Performance, Stress & Health, International Journal of Training and Development, Personality and Individual Differences, and International Journal of Intercultural Relations. We are also extremely proud of the presentations our students have been a part of.
