MA in Psychology in Lubbock United States | Texas Tech University

Students enrolled in the clinical and counseling psychology Ph.D. programs are exclusively admitted for doctoral studies, though they can choose to fulfill the optional master's degree requirements while pursuing their Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology or Counseling Psychology. Those in experimental psychology graduate programs are generally admitted for doctoral degrees, with a limited number accepted for terminal master's degrees or combined B.A./M.A. programs. The combined B.A./M.A. program includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Experimental Psychology with a human factors specialization. The Ph.D. in General Experimental Psychology provides specializations in cognition and cognitive neuroscience, human factors, and social psychology. Graduate program requirements are comprehensive and partially customized to individual students and specific psychology programs. These requirements undergo periodic updates to comply with accrediting bodies like the American Psychological Association (for clinical and counseling psychology Ph.D. programs) and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (for the human factors concentration in experimental psychology, offering both combined B.A./M.A. and M.A./Ph.D. pathways).
