General Program Information
The Psychology program has three primary graduate degree plans:
- The Master's in Psychology (MA) degree, with two primary options:
- The thesis track is the inital program all students in the MA program will start in. It will require students to complete a Master's Thesis, which is a piece of original research written under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor.
- The comprehensive track is an option for students who opt out of a thesis project, and who may want to earn a degree with advanced, foundational knowledge for select careers or study in Psychology.
- [Note: We are no longer accepting students under a Clinical Degree option]
- The Specialist in School Psychology (SSP) degree
The MA degrees typically take an average of 2-3 years of full-time coursework (9-12 hrs/semester). The SSP degree takes about 3 years, with 2 years of full-time coursework (9-12 hrs/semester) and a final year of internship. Part-time options are also available.
Each program has 6 (SSP) or 8 (General MA) core courses. Once your core courses are completed, students in the MA program have a significant amount of freedom to choose electives which fit the student's research interest(s) and future goals. The School Psychology SSP program is more structured from beginning to end in order to meet licensure requirements.
