The Research Psychology track is a 36-credit Master's program spanning two years of full-time enrollment. This curriculum equips students for doctoral studies in psychology and similar disciplines, along with research-oriented careers requiring graduate-level training. The program blends foundational psychology courses with research methodology training, including skills like evaluating studies and creating research designs. These academic components form the foundation for joint research projects with professors. A key advantage of this program is the chance for meaningful faculty engagement, both in academic settings and research labs, facilitated by small class sizes. Professors cover diverse research specialties and welcome student-initiated proposals in specific focus areas.
