Social psychology explores how situations affect individual and group behaviors while uncovering the mental mechanisms behind these actions. For instance, have you wondered how biases and stereotypes develop and shape interactions across different cultures? Or why people's convictions often contradict available evidence? NYU's renowned social psychology professors teach and study social cognition and subconscious processes that help explain these phenomena. Do you want to understand how self-perception affects drive, success, and how we view others? Faculty researchers examine the cognitive and sensory elements at play. NYU stands at the forefront of social neuroscience, employing fMRI and eye-tracking technology to connect brain patterns with social actions, choices, and feelings. Master's students start with core curriculum before potentially accessing doctoral-level classes and faculty research labs studying these areas. They can also participate in weekly Psychology Department seminars and informal lunch discussions alongside professors and PhD candidates.

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.
