<p>I applied to (and was accepted by) NYU for their MA in I/O psychology for this fall. I also submitted my application to Baruch for an MS in the same field, I have yet to hear back from them. I am also applying to the MBA program with an emphasis in I/O psychology from Baruch's school of business</p>
<p>My biggest question is: what are some advantages/disadvantages of going with an MA/MS versus an MBA? How will my job prospects differ? Do consulting companies tend to prefer one over the other?</p>
<p>I’m curious about what OP decided to do. In general I would say that the big consulting companies would prefer an MBA than an MS in I/O, unless they need an I/O psychologist. I think if one is going after an MS in I/O psychology one should do it because they actually want to work as an industrial-organizational psychologist, not as a substitute for an MBA. Moot point for the OP, but may be useful to someone else.</p>
<p>Hey just a quick question or two about the NYU I/O program. Do they award financial aid?? Are you from out of state? I was considering that program too so just wondering…my main issues were cost and having to move to NY</p>
