This degree is designed for individuals who hold master's degrees in industrial/organizational
psychology, counseling psychology, clinical social work, or career counseling; and
for individuals with a doctorate in psychology who are seeking skiJls that will permit a
career change into organizational consulting. Members of both of these groups realize that
additional training in assessment and increased knowledge oforganizational structure and
function will permit them to work independently, autonomously and without other professional
supervision. They also are aware of the demand for individuals with these skiJls
and this knowledge base.
