Graduate Program
See also: Clinical Psychology | Counseling Psychology | Experimental Psychology
The Department of Psychology admits graduate students to one of four programs in three areas: Clinical Psychology (PhD only), Counseling Psychology (PhD only) and Experimental Psychology (both MA and PhD). The Experimental Program has several concentrations, including Biopsychology, Social, Health, Industrial/Applied, and Cognitive/Consciousness. The Department does not admit students to do Master's work in Clinical Psychology. Although not required, students with the MA or MS degree are encouraged to apply to the doctoral programs. The Clinical and Counseling Programs are recommended for students interested in either academic research or applied careers in professional psychology. The Experimental Program is recommended for students interested in academic and/or research careers in experimental psychology.
The Master's Program in Experimental Psychology is recommended for students interested in a terminal Master's degree (e.g., those interested in developing their skills prior to applying to a doctoral program).
