iopsych Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Where can I review updated I/O Psych PhD program rankings?? Also, M.A. programs would be helpful too. Thanks : ) There really is not a good ranking system. You could look at US News, but they tend to rank older programs as better. The most updated ranking system on SIOPs page is from about 10 years ago and a few of the programs are no longer in existence (Tulane) or are very good programs now that were not in existence then (UCF). This is where knowing individuals in the field helps out. They usually have some insight into which programs are flourishing and which ones are floundering. The best way to rank would be to look at the amount of research they are putting out into top tier journals, the number of conference presentations, and the number of SIOP fellows a school has as professors. I believe the two schools with the most SIOP fellows as faculty are Michigan State and UCF (I think they both have 3 faculty members that are SIOP fellows). Other than that look for match between your research interests and the professors at the school. Rankings don't really matter that much. Once again it is what you make of it.
