Do students get involved in applied projects conducted by faculty?
Yes. When a faculty member conducts applied projects (e.g., consulting, applied research), I/O students who work with that faculty member will generally be involved in the project. Students tend to be involved all phases of consulting projects, including traveling to collect data, data analysis, and writing reports. In addition to involvement in faculty projects, it is possible for students to initiate their own applied projects, either through field research required for a Master s or dissertation, or as a consulting project for an organization.
