In addition to providing high levels of rigorous academic training, the UMD I/O Master's program provides hands-on practical experiences, and career guidance while meeting the needs of students and working professionals. The program is completed in 15 months over the course of five terms. Students complete two classes per term in a hybrid format with live classes on Mondays from 5-8pm.

Our graduates go on to work in highly respected organizations, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Kincentric, Qualtrics, Capital One, Adobe, Johns Hopkins Hospital, New Balance, Marriott International, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Pew Research Center, US Department of Defense, and many more. Over 98% of our graduates are employed within 6 months of graduating.
