The Psychology Master's Program offers a comprehensive foundation in general psychology, equipping professionals with a thorough understanding of the field, research methodologies, and ethical standards. Specialized advanced courses enable students to explore contemporary issues in psychological service sectors. Through elective options that complement the core curriculum, the M.A. enhances both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in psychology and related disciplines. Students can earn their degree by completing either 33 credits (30 course credits plus a 3-credit thesis) or 36 course credits with a comprehensive exam. The thesis option allows for close collaboration with faculty in a chosen specialization.
This graduate program equips students for careers in diverse mental health and human service environments, such as counseling centers, family service agencies, senior care facilities, and community organizations. It also provides a strong foundation for pursuing doctoral studies in psychology, including Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs.
M.A. Program Admission Requirements
Prospective students must have completed a minimum of 12 undergraduate psychology credits (including statistics) with a 2.75 GPA or higher. Two academic recommendation letters are also required. While M.A. admission doesn't guarantee Ph.D. program acceptance, exceptional candidates may take doctoral-level courses with approval from both program directors, and some graduates transition into the Ph.D. program. Both graduate initiatives actively support increasing diversity among aspiring psychology professionals.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants to the M.A. program must have completed at least 12 undergraduate credits of psychology, including statistics, with a grade point average of at least 2.75. In addition, they must submit letters of recommendation from two professors. Admission to the M.A. program in no way implies acceptance into the Ph.D. program. Nonetheless, outstanding master's degree candidates are admitted into doctoral courses with the permission of the directors of both programs, and some M.A. graduates are accepted into the Ph.D. program. Both graduate programs are committed to increasing the enrollment of aspiring minority students.
All applicants to the Ph.D. program who were not accepted for admission to the Ph.D. program will have their applications automatically forwarded to the M.A. program for review and possible admission.
