Americans spend more than 54 percent of their waking hours at work. As a result, students who want to make a real impact on peoples' lives are beginning to use industrial and organizational psychology to focus on the psychology of work. Industrial and organizational psychology helps employers identify the right job candidates to hire, determine the best job fit for each worker, and design enjoyable and effective workplaces, taking into account work-life balance. Finally, one specialty, human factors, focuses on designing tools and products that are easy to use and that reduce human error.
In addition to a strong educational foundation in human learning, memory, emotion, judgment and social psychology that prepares students for employment or graduate school, students can choose to focus in two of the following five focus areas:
- consumer psychology
- human resources and organizational behavior
- human systems engineering
- learning technology
- user experience

Current ASU undergraduate students may pursue a minor and have it recognized on their ASU transcript at graduation. Students interested in pursuing a minor should consult their academic advisor to declare the minor and to ensure that an appropriate set of courses is taken. Minor requirements appear on the degree audit once the minor is added. Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate by the college or department of either the major program or the minor. Courses taken for the minor may not count toward both the major and the minor. Students should contact their academic advisor for more information.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
