The applied experiences I have been provided in this program have been invaluable to my growth as an I/O practitioner and I am continually impressed by the investment of the faculty in our education and future careers.”- Colleen Gillmore 

“I am a 2nd year in the MSIO program, and I choose CSULB because of the emphasis on applied work. The course projects are real, applied work that is done with real organizations. It is such a great way to gain real experience! Also, the faculty members are supportive and truly do their best to ensure all student are successful in the program. I certainly feel very well prepared to enter the workforce after graduation and have gained a great network of people in the process!” -Cailey Christensen
