Master of Arts in Psychology
The Master of Arts program in psychology offers concentrations in:
- clinical psychology
- behavioral medicine/health psychology
- social/personality psychology
- neuroscience/psychobiology
and - instruction in abnormal and social psychology, women's health, behavioral medicine, statistics, clinical assessment, stress and emotional behavior, systems of psychotherapy, behavior therapy and other areas (see catalog).
Both clinical and research practicum sites are available. Most students complete the program in two years. While an undergraduate major in psychology is not required, students must have taken a statistics course to be considered for admission to the program.
The master's program in psychology consists of 12 graduate-level four-credit semester courses. One course (Advanced Psychological Statistics) is required of all students. Those planning to elect the clinical practicum (a second year course) must take Psychology 519, Advanced Clinical Psychology; and Psychology 505, Abnormal Psychology, as first-year students. The normal distribution of courses involves taking seven courses during the first year and in the second year either five courses and the comprehensive examination or three courses and the thesis, which counts as two courses.
Programs of study are developed in consultation with the department chair or academic adviser and are approved by the Graduate Studies Committee.
