Industrial-Organization Psychologist?

Question by LeftByMyself: Industrial-Organization Psychologist?
I recently decided what I want as my career, but I have a few questions about what courses I need to get there.

I’m a third year University student in Canada (Ontario) and currently doing a B.A. Honours in Psychology.
Courses I have taken so far include:
Intro to Psych 1001 & 1002,
Two Religion courses as electives,
A Computer science course,
Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology,
Introduction to Statistics in Psychology,
Intro to Health Psychology,
Intro to Cognitive Psychology,
Into to the Study of Personality,
Intro to Human Factors in Engineering,
Earth Sciences,
Addiction

I know I have a lot of catching up to do and possibly put in an extra year to obtain the right courses to graduate. I just need to know WHAT courses I need to take to become an I/O Psychologist. Specifics would be really helpful or anything close to it as well. I’ve been looking into Sociology courses and wondering are those the types of courses I should be taken moreso than the Psyc courses? In addition, any other adive you can give me about this career would be really appreciated. I’ve been researching it nonstop for a few days now, but the more I know the better! Please and Thank You!
I’m asking what courses I should in University to get my degree and help me become a I/O Psychologist. I’m definately planning on doing a Master’s and a PhD…

You’ll need a Ph.D. if you want to licensed as a psychologist.

Finish undergrad first, then apply to grad school.
