Hi Vicki,
Great question! In the field of IO, I’d recommend looking at the coursework required for both degrees. You want the specialization of IO, but make sure your coursework aligns with your intended future work. For example, if you want to work at an organization or as a consultant, business skills are essential. If you want to be a researcher or contractor, you’ll need more concrete systems experience.

Thank you Lauren, i have printed the 2 course modules out and will look at that , i would prefer to focus on the organisational systems.. im not too sure yet what concrete systems experience is, yet but perhaps in 2-3yrs i will.:)
thank you
