Organizational issues know no boundaries. Neither should you.
The IO Psychology programs (master's degree and graduate certificate) have agreements and cooperations with several universities abroad that offer students and faculty opportunities to engage in:
- research collaborations
- teaching collaborations
- coursework (study abroad)
- practica.
We currently have agreements or cooperations with the following institutions: Universitat de Barcelona, Uniwersytet Śląski, Universitat de València, IAE Pau-Bayonne and the European Commission's Erasmus+ Programme.
"My two study abroad programs at UBalt not only made me a competitive candidate when gaining employment with global companies, it also provided me with invaluable experiences that shaped who I am today. These programs created lifelong bonds with my peers, helped me to grow stronger and more independent in myself personally and as a practitioner, and allowed me to seamlessly integrate into a global workforce."
-Shelby Reichardt, M.S. '18
Students Who Study Abroad Fare Better in Job Market

“We believe always as educators, and as scholars, that we grow from interaction with others,” said Sri Zaheer, dean of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. “We grow from ideas from working off the developments of others. That’s how knowledge advances.”
“We’re not just concerned about a particular country or a particular state,” she added. “We are concerned about our impact on society and our impact on the world. And the only way we can do it is through better collaboration.”
We are headed to Barcelona, Spain in 2024!
