The M.A. Program's adaptable structure accommodates diverse student needs. Certain students join with a clear specialization in mind, selecting courses aligned with their goals. That said, choosing a focus area isn't mandatory. Many begin their studies wanting to discover psychology's various domains, typically sampling different electives to identify their passions.
Our department provides bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. level education. Psychology ranks among NYU's most sought-after undergraduate majors. We feature two doctoral tracks (Cognition & Perception and Social Psychology), a Developmental Psychology Concentration, plus two master's options (General Psychology and Industrial/Organizational Psychology). Faculty research covers everything from neural mechanisms underlying perception to how motivations shape social behavior. Graduate training emphasizes hands-on research participation, while undergraduates gain crucial experience for future scientific pursuits.

Qualification Requirements
You must receive your undergraduate degree (U.S. baccalaureate or equivalent) from an institution of recognized standing before enrollment in the Graduate School.
TOEFL or IELTS: required of all applicants who are not native English speakers or who do not have a bachelor's or master's degree from an institution where the language of instruction is English. We recommend you plan on taking the TOEFL or IELTS 6-8 weeks prior to the application deadline to ensure your scores arrive on time.
Statement of Academic Purpose: Please describe briefly and concisely your past and present academic and/or professional accomplishments as they relate to your intended field of study, your educational objectives while at NYU, and your career goals following the master's program. State your specific optional area of focus in the general master's program in psychology and include your reasons for choosing this field of study. What specific goals and objectives do you have for applying to NYU? The statement should be concisely written, in a professional/academic, rather than a personal/informal style, and should not exceed two double-spaced pages.
Letters of Recommendation: Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation. Preferably, the letters should come from former professors at college. For applicants who have been out of school for some time, letters from supervisors are acceptable, but they should address academic skills related to writing, research, and quantitative analysis. Letters should not be from family friends or counselors, or from religious or political figures.
