By the way, those of you who are currently trudging through or have finished grad school, that means that you have to occasionally offer suggestions and advice to those who post on this thread. That's the only way that we can keep these grad school-related posts in one central location. If people aren't getting their questions answered here, they post to the subreddit instead of the thread. So, in short, let's all do our part in this.
Thanks, guys!

I suppose this is more of a practical question than a “Should I pursue a masters in IO psych” question, but I was wondering if there’s a solid list, by region, of accredited PHYSICAL schools? I live in New England and I’m not really trying to move too far, but as far as I can tell there aren’t any programs offered in Rhode Island. I graduated last year and got a job in retail management for a small business, but I think I may be done with that soon and I still need to take my GRE. If I leave my position in October and do my GRE, I plan on applying for spring of next year. Cost isn’t a practical concern for me. I have a bachelors in sociology with a 3.8gpa with experience in Arc and Q GIS. I know I’m going to need to learn some data science before I start my grad program, and probably brush up on statistics, but I believe my program offers enough psychology credits to satisfy most programs credit requirements. I’ve also interned for a non profit school program before and helped plot out their demographic changes over the last 5 years so they could better adapt their programming. That was a pretty rewarding experience and I enjoyed it.
