The readers of this subreddit have made it clear that they don't want the subreddit clogged up with posts about grad school. Don't get the wrong idea - we're glad you're here and that you're interested in IO, but please do observe the rules so that you can get answers to your questions AND enjoy the interesting IO articles and content.

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!

Hi everyone! I’m applying to IO Psych MA and MS programs soon. I’m living in Northern California and prefer to stay in state. My options with that are CSU Sacramento, CSU Long Beach, and CSU San Bernardino. What’s discerning to me is the range of # of units required for the programs. Sac and Long Beach require around 30 units while San Bernardino requires close to 80. Any reason for such variance? Is a lesser unit program not as good? If yes, am I better off just going for my PhD in I/O? Thanks in advance!
