The M.A. in Psychology program aims to equip future psychologists with essential knowledge and skills to tackle contemporary life challenges. This curriculum establishes a strong grounding in psychological research methodologies and core concepts while also serving as ideal preparation for doctoral studies. With a selective, limited cohort size, students benefit from personalized faculty guidance while meeting high academic standards. The program features specialized tracks including Community Psychology, Cognition, and Health Psychology (the latter exclusively for Ph.D. in Health Psychology dual-degree candidates). Students may propose alternative concentrations with faculty support. Prospective applicants should consult potential faculty mentors in their desired specialization before applying.
