The Master of Science in Psychology equips students with advanced statistical and methodological training, preparing them for PhD programs or careers in applied research. Most graduates either secure admission to doctoral programs or find employment in psychology-related research roles. Those continuing to PhD programs often attend prestigious institutions, while others work in research positions at health science centers, assessment firms, or military organizations.
This Psychology MS program caters to two student groups: those seeking doctoral preparation through enhanced coursework and research experience, and those requiring graduate-level training for research careers in behavioral and psychological fields. The curriculum provides comprehensive research exposure, covering methodology, statistics, and core psychology domains (including social, personality, cognitive, developmental, and clinical psychology).
