Touro University Worldwide’s M.A. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology applies the principles of psychological science to help organizations function more effectively. Program outcomes are focused on getting students to establish a connection between happy, productive workers and profitability and efficiency.

This area of psychology is one of the fastest growing specialty areas in the field and has immense value in the military.
Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy:
Military families can face many issues and challenges during their loved one’s service that greatly affect their family dynamics. Marriage and family therapists navigate the unique relationships within families and society to create holistic patient treatment plans. This type of therapy differs from other mental health professions because of its focus on:
- Treating couples and families as a system rather than individuals
- Modern day issues affecting families
- Using a broad understanding of interpersonal relationships to identify and treat mental health problems
