Broaden Your Foundation

 

The MA in Experimental Psychology trains students in scientific sub-disciplines of psychology, focusing on experimental methods. The program provides a solid foundation in psychological science and prepares graduates for doctoral studies or careers in research management and teaching, rather than clinical services.

Students can pursue a research thesis with a faculty mentor's support. To graduate, they must also pass a comprehensive exam in their final semester, which assesses their knowledge of the program's core topics.
