Core
Faculty at Baruch College Psychology Department:
Joel Lefkowitz, Subprogram Head; John L. Andreassi, Yochi Cohen-Charash,
Harold W. Goldstein, Edwin P. Hollander (emeritus), Judith L. Komaki,,
Karen Lyness, Walter Reichman (emeritus), Kristin Sommer, Donna E.
Thompson (on leave). The goal of the subprogram is to educate students in the general discipline of psychology, with an emphasis on training competent researchers and practitioners in the area of human behavior at work and in organizations. The concentration provides thorough training in the basic areas of psychology, research design, and statistics and in all facets of the field of industrial and organizational psychology. The core curriculum is designed so that students who wish to do so will be able to meet state requirements for professional licensure application. Students admitted to the subprogram ordinarily receive financial assistance for three years, in the form of a Baruch College Graduate Research Assistantship or a University Fellowship, which entails working 20 hours/week as a Research Assistant with an advisor. Advanced students are encouraged to teach undergraduate courses in the psychology department at Baruch, at other CUNY campuses, or at other colleges and universities in the New York area.
Applied fieldwork is an integral part of the subprogram, which is guided by the American Psychological Association's "Specialty Guidelines for the Delivery of Services by I/O Psychologists." When finished with course work, after their third year, students typically apply for a variety of part-time "externships" and other personnel research positions in both the private corporate sector and the public sector of New York City employers. Other opportunities for fieldwork experience are provided by working with faculty on consultancy assignments and class projects.
