Overview

Students work closely with highly qualified faculty mentors, learning about research relevant to their interests. The Department of Psychology has resources to assist and support graduate students, such as office space, specialized facilities and software for data collection and analysis, funding for conference travel and graduate assistantships. The M.A. in Psychological Research is a two-year, full-time program of study. The program requires the completion of 38 credit hours, consisting of 20 hours of core courses (six thesis hours taken in the second year) and 18 hours of electives. Courses are taught by faculty renowned for their expertise in developmental, health, clinical, cognitive and social psychology, as well as human factors and neuroscience (both basic and clinical). At least 12 hours of elective course credit must be obtained by completing courses offered by the Department of Psychology. Elective courses completed outside of the department require the consent of the program director to be added to a student’s degree plan. The mission of the program is to foster competence in the methodological foundations and conduct of psychological research across a wide variety of settings. Students will gain expertise regarding the impact of biological, social, emotional, cognitive and behavioral factors on psychological phenomena and use this knowledge to conduct original research in their area of interest. Focus is placed on learning interpersonal, research and statistical skills and competencies relevant to the responsible and ethical conduct of both basic and applied psychological research.
