The Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee hosts both its biggest undergraduate program and largest doctoral program, earning nationwide acclaim for its exceptional scientific research, distinguished faculty, and outstanding students. With around 110 graduate students, the department offers three advanced programs: an Experimental Psychology program focusing on Cognitive and Developmental Science, Social Psychology, and Neuroscience and Behavior, along with two prestigious applied doctoral programs in Clinical Psychology and Counseling Psychology. Additionally, the department serves over 900 undergraduate Psychology majors, granting nearly 500 bachelor's degrees each year—accounting for roughly a quarter of all undergraduate degrees awarded by the College of Arts and Sciences. This program caters to two student groups: those pursuing an MA in Experimental Psychology to strengthen their foundation before applying to PhD programs, and those enrolled in clinical or counseling doctoral programs who wish to earn a master's degree as part of their doctoral journey.

Qualification Requirements
Any student with a BA or BS may apply to the Department of Psychology for admission to the Experimental Psychology master's program.
Only students who are currently enrolled in one of our PhD programs should apply for the General Psychology master's program.
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (general and/or Psychology) may be submitted, but are not required.
For admission to a graduate program, an international student must have an equivalent 4-year bachelor's degree with at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale on all previous coursework or a 3.30 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work. Grading systems other than the 4.00 scale are evaluated, upon receipt of transcripts, in accordance with standard practice. Programs may require a higher average GPA for admission. Applicants with work experience or who are entering graduate study after a number of years away from an educational institution, usually five years, will be given consideration with greater flexibility relative to GPA.
Minimum score requirements for admission to the Graduate School are:
a total score of 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT),
a total score of 550 or equivalent on the paper-based TOEFL (PBT), or
a 6.5 overall band score on the IELTS.
