Master's in Business Psychology Program Overview
Apply new insights into human behavior to solve business problems
Business is a very human enterprise. Not only are innovative products and services a result of human ingenuity, but influencing human behavior is also key to every other part of a business’ success — including making the sale. That’s why behind most successful businesses are skilled and compassionate individuals. These leaders possess an understanding of human behavior as well as knowledge of business principles, and the know-how to leverage them into workplace success.
The M.S. in Business Psychology from Franklin University integrates the latest psychological and neuroscience research, equipping you to motivate behavior and resolve demanding managerial issues. You will cover traditional business and psychology disciplines in non-traditional ways, focusing more on the qualitative and human aspects of marketing, economics, finance, management, and human resources. And with business psychology jobs projected to grow 8% by 2031*, you’ll be well positioned to advance your career upon graduation.
Finish your online business psychology master's degree in as few as 14 months
You will reap the rewards of your degree in as few as 14 months with the real-world expertise of Franklin’s highly qualified instructors to help guide you. And, if you qualify, GMAT and GRE requirements may be waived, allowing you to begin your program of study immediately, without a long-preparation cycle.
Gain a theoretical foundation that translates into practical innovation
The online Master's in Business Psychology program's fusion of business and positive psychology exposes you to trending fields such as NeuroFinance and NeuroMarketing, which measures consumer response to marketing stimuli in order to better understand why and how they make decisions and what parts of the brain are active when they do. As you move through your coursework, you will enhance your understanding of human behavior by gaining a solid theoretical foundation you can practically apply and use to solve business problems.
You'll learn to assess an organization's business intelligence, evaluate psychological assessments for use in leadership and organization development, create behaviorally based measures of economic performance, apply psychological principles to new product marketing, design processes to stimulate innovation, and more.
