Psychological Sciences (M.A.)
The Psychological Sciences Program prepares students for further training at the doctoral level, and for immediate employment in research settings. The core of the program is a sequence of courses in statistics, measurement and research design; a research apprenticeship; and a thesis. The core allows students to develop the skills needed to advance understanding of topics in the psychological sciences through completion of empirical studies, professional presentation, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and/or empirical research in applied settings. In addition, students develop expertise in a specialty area through selected coursework and closely mentored research experience with program faculty. Concentrations are available in assessment, measurement, & statistics, clinical psychology, and experimental psychology. The program faculty is drawn from both the Department of Psychology and the Department of Graduate Psychology.
