This may be why I see mostly I/O Psychologists

This is what I do.

It looks like the one's near you are Baruch, Hofstra, Iona, & NYU.

You're right, I was confused. The one at Cornell is a master of Industrial and Labor Relations degree.

Thanks for letting me know about Hofstra and Iona. I didn't realize they had HR programs. I'll look into them.

I was considering NYU, Baruch, Cornell, Adelphi, or Mercy. So far, the best deal looks like Baruch, as far as tuition and reputation.

Anybody else have any feedback on the questions I posed in my OP? Any help is welcome.
